I noticed today while talking to a friend who’s reading my copy of BEAUTIFUL CREATURES that there are plenty of quote worthy snippets inside. So I was wondering what some of your favorite quotes might be…

My fave quotes are all from Amma’s smart, southern mouth that have a little spike of wit.

So what’s yours? (Just keep them spoiler free)

    Most of mine are from Amma. One of my faves is “Don’t spit down my back and tell me it’s rainin’”. I love her! LOL

    I like this quote “You’re not the only one falling.” ;)

    – slightly spoilerish quote –

    The bell rang and lunch was over. Just like that, I not only had a date to the winter formal, I had a girlfriend. And not just a girlfriend, for the first time in my life, I had almost used the L word. In the middle of the cafeteria, in front of Link.
    Talk about hot lunch.

    But i like this quote:
    Don’t try.
    I was pretty sure my grave would say something different.
    __
    “You can’t jump off a cliff when you’ve already fallen off a bigger one.”
    __
    “I never believed your daddy when he said it was impossible for a Caster and a Mortal
    to be together. We would have found a way. I love you, Genevieve.” He pressed
    something into her hand. A locket
    _
    Wake up, L. You can’t leave me now. Not like this. I need you more than she does.

    There are a lot of good quotes but this makes me laugh every time…”Yeah, that would get me out of trouble, around the same time the sun exploded and the solar system died.” – Ethan, Beautiful Creatures, p. 81

  5. Care said:

    Kind of spoilerish for the relationship…

    “I never loved you any more than I do, right this second. And I’ll never love you any less than I do, right this second.” Ethan Wate

    As soon as I read it I had to add it to Good Reads quotes.

  6. Laurie said:

    I agree with Care – I love that quote from Ethan.
    I also really loved the nod to Roger Rabbit from Ridley. “Maybe I’m just drawn that way.”

  7. Kami Garcia said:

    “The right thing and the easy thing are never the same.”

  8. Kami Garcia said:

    I also love Care’s quote & her name…

    I have a few.

    “Shut up. You’re so whipped I should buy you a saddle” -Link

    “I’m a freak, you’re a freak. Your house makes rooms disappear, my house makes people disappear. Your shut-in uncle is nuts and my shut-in dad is a lunatic, so I don’t know what you think makes us different.” -Ethan.

    I have more but they’re super long to type.
    :D

    “As I looked at her, my knees started to buckle,which was starting to become a familiar feeling. She was so pretty it hurt.”

    Three can keep a secret if two of them are dead
    …so wise….

    I lay my head on his chest and cried because he had lived, because he had died. A dry ocean, a desert of emotion. Happysad darklight sorrowyjoy swept over me, under me.I could hear the sound but I could not under stand the words. And then I realized it was me, breaking. In one moment I was feeling everything and feeling nothing. I was shattered I was saved. I lost everything I was given everything else. Something in me died, something in me was born, I only knew the girl was gone. Whoever I was now I would never be her again. This is the world will end not with a bang but a whimper. Claim yourself Claim yourself claim yourself. Gratitude Fury love hope despair hate. First green is gold but nothing green can stay. Dont try nothing, green can stay

  22. Elvinah said:

    This is the way the world ends
