Book Quotes- Beautiful Chaos by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl


We are eagerly anticipating the release of the fourth and final book in the Caster Chronicles series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, Beautiful Redemption, which comes out on the 23rd of October, 2012. *excited* :D

To celebrate this, we are having a Caster Chronicles Book Quotes Marathon, where I'll share my favourite quotes from the first three books in the series.

The Caster Chronicles consist of the following books:

 Beautiful Creatures (Caster Chronicles #1), Beautiful Darkness (Caster Chronicles #2), Dream Dark (Caster Chronicles #2.5) and Beautiful Chaos (Caster Chronicles #3).

The book for today is book #3 from the series, Beautiful Chaos.


Goodreads Summary:

Ethan Wate thought he was getting used to the strange, impossible events happening in Gatlin, his small Southern town. But now that Ethan and Lena have returned home, strange and impossible have taken on new meanings. Swarms of locusts, record-breaking heat, and devastating storms ravage Gatlin as Ethan and Lena struggle to understand the impact of Lena's Claiming. Even Lena's family of powerful Supernaturals is affected - and their abilities begin to dangerously misfire. As time passes, one question becomes clear: What - or who - will need to be sacrificed to save Gatlin?

For Ethan, the chaos is a frightening but welcome distraction. He's being haunted in his dreams again, but this time it isn't by Lena - and whatever is haunting him is following him out of his dreams and into his everyday life. Even worse, Ethan is gradually losing pieces of himself - forgetting names, phone numbers, even memories. He doesn't know why, and most days he's too afraid to ask.

Sometimes there isn't just one answer or one choice. Sometimes there's no going back. And this time there won't be a happy ending.

Quotes: 

* While I thought I was learning how to live, I've been learning how to die. 
-Leonardo Da Vinci

* I have been bent and broken, but- I hope- into a better shape.
-Great Expectations, Charles Dickens

* For a few minutes, what e had, we knew. 

* I wondered if wishing was the same thing as praying. If hoping for something badly enough could make it happen. 

* The one thing that doesn't abide by human majority is human conscience. 
-To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee

* I guess some decisions are made before you make them. 

* 'This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. 

* "Do you believe in love before first sight, L?"
"Do you believe in love after last sight, Ethan?"

* The one word that would come anyway, whether or not we said it. Good-bye. 

* I wasn't much of a poet, but I had the truth, and that was enough. 


I will always love you. 
Ethan

Book Quotes- Beautiful Darkness by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

We are eagerly anticipating the release of the fourth and final book in the Caster Chronicles series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, Beautiful Redemption, which comes out on the 23rd of October, 2012. *excited* :D

To celebrate this, we are having a Caster Chronicles Book Quotes Marathon, where I'll share my favourite quotes from the first three books in the series. 

The Caster Chronicles consist of the following books:

 Beautiful Creatures (Caster Chronicles #1), Beautiful Darkness (Caster Chronicles #2), Dream Dark (Caster Chronicles #2.5) and Beautiful Chaos (Caster Chronicles #3). 


The book for today is book #2 from the series, Beautiful Darkness.


Goodreads Summary:

Ethan Wate used to think of Gatlin, the small Southern town he had always called home, as a place where nothing ever changed. Then he met mysterious newcomer Lena Duchannes, who revealed a secret world that had been hidden in plain sight all along. A Gatlin that harbored ancient secrets beneath its moss-covered oaks and cracked sidewalks. A Gatlin where a curse has marked Lena's family of powerful Supernaturals for generations. A Gatlin where impossible, magical, life-altering events happen.


Sometimes life-ending.

Together they can face anything Gatlin throws at them, but after suffering a tragic loss, Lena starts to pull away, keeping secrets that test their relationship. And now that Ethan's eyes have been opened to the darker side of Gatlin, there's no going back. Haunted by strange visions only he can see, Ethan is pulled deeper into his town's tangled history and finds himself caught up in the dangerous network of underground passageways endlessly crisscrossing the South, where nothing is as it seems.


Quotes:

* My house was quiet, which isn't what you want a house to be if you're trying to run away from your thoughts. 

* Cuts that run that deep leave scars, no matter what you try to do to heal them.

* There's something about sitting alone in the dark that reminds you how big the world really is, and how far apart we all are. The stars look like they're so close, you could reach out and touch them. But you can't. Sometimes things look a lot closer than they appear. 

* I told myself it was because I was too angry, but that was one of those lies you tell when you're trying to convince yourself that you're doing the right thing. The truth was, I didn't know what to say. I didn't want to ask the questions, and I was scared to hear the answers.

Book Quotes- Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

We are eagerly anticipating the release of the fourth and final book in the Caster Chronicles series by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl, Beautiful Redemption, which comes out on the 23rd of October, 2012. *excited* :D
To celebrate this, we are having a Caster Chronicles Book Quotes Marathon, where I'll share my favourite quotes from the first three books in the series.

The Caster Chronicles consist of the following books:

 Beautiful Creatures (Caster Chronicles #1), Beautiful Darkness (Caster Chronicles #2), Dream Dark (Caster Chronicles #2.5) and Beautiful Chaos (Caster Chronicles #3).

The book for today is book #1 from the series, Beautiful Creatures

 

Goodreads Summary:
There were no surprises in Gatlin County.
We were pretty much the epicenter of the middle of nowhere.

At least, that's what I thought.
Turns out, I couldn't have been more wrong.
There was a curse.
There was a girl.
And in the end, there was a grave.

Lena Duchannes is unlike anyone the small Southern town of Gatlin has ever seen, and she's struggling to conceal her power and a curse that has haunted her family for generations. But even within the overgrown gardens, murky swamps and crumbling graveyards of the forgotten South, a secret cannot stay hidden forever.

Ethan Wate, who has been counting the months until he can escape from Gatlin, is haunted by dreams of a beautiful girl he has never met. When Lena moves into the town's oldest and most infamous plantation, Ethan is inexplicably drawn to her and determined to uncover the connection between them.

In a town with no surprises, one secret could change everything.

Quotes: 

* Darkness cannot drive out darkness; 
only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate; 
only love can do that.
- Martin Luther King Jr. 

* I didn't want to risk what we had, whatever it was. So why did I think of her every second? Why was I so much happier the minute I saw her? I felt like maybe I knew the answer, but could I be sure? I didn't know and I didn't have any way to find out... 

* That didn't stop me from thinking about her or seeing her practically everywhere I tried not to look. 

* I was alone, and the only thing worse than being alone was having everyone see how lonely I was. 

* What is the opposite of two?
A lonely me, a lonely you. 

* It's crazy what you see when you aren't really looking. 

* Everyday was like a day out of someone else's life. Nothing had ever happened to me, and now everything was happening to me- and by everything, I really meant Lena. An hour was both faster and slower. I felt like I had sucked the air out of a giant balloon, like my brain wasn't getting enough oxygen. Clouds were more interesting, the lunchroom less disgusting, music sounded better, the same old jokes were funnier, and Jackson went from being a clump of grayish-green buildings to map of times and places where I might run into her. I found myself smiling for no reason, keeping my earphones in and replaying our conversations in my head just so I could listen to them again. 
I had seen this kind of thing before. 
I had just never felt it.
