Night World Series (pt 1) by L.J. Smith

***Secret Vampire***

“Poppy was brave, but facing constant pain would crush anyone.”
  
“You don’t love a girl because of beauty. You love her because she sings a song only you can understand…” 
  
“It’s a lonely world, full of secrets.” 

“It didn’t matter that she wasn’t really dying. When a caterpillar changes into a butterfly it loses its caterpillar life. No more shimmying up twigs, no more eating leaves.”

“You don’t love somebody because of their looks or their clothes or their car. You love them because they sing a song that nobody but you can understand.”

***Dark Angel***

“Reality was just one desperate, choking attempt to get enough air for the next breath.”

“Not necessarily bad. Just so powerful and so different that it was scary. Good can be scary too.” 

“All her realizations about life being important were nonsense. Life was a giant hoax. She couldn’t change herself and live in a completely new direction. There was no new start. No hope.”

***The Chosen***

“The night has a thousand eyes and the day only one.”

“They had to do something to deaden the pain…even if that meant embracing the pain. They escaped one darkness by going into another.”

***Soulmate***

“The world was changing around her, and it was the most disorienting thing she’d ever experienced. It was as if the fabric of her universe was actually moving—pulsing and shifting to accommodate the new truths.”

“At least I know I’m not crazy. . . That’s some consolation. It’s the universe that’s insane, not me.” 

“Love spilled from her and into [him] and back again. The more she gave, the more she got back. It was a cycle, taking them higher and higher.”

***Huntress***

“Their legend says the first world was destroyed by fire. The second world was destroyed by ice. The third world ended in water—a universal flood. And the fourth world—well, that’s ours. It’s supposed to end in blood and darkness—and end soon.” Fav

***Black Dawn***

“Maggie took in the whole scene in a glance. It was one of those moments when everything changes forever.”

“Love is for weak people. It’s a delusion. And it can be deadly.”

***Witchlight***

“It felt good. It always did. Painful in a nice way, like the feeling of having a tight bandage removed. A release.”

“For a moment, she didn’t feel like anything—she almost had no body. She was fluid, a being of pure energy, with no more fixed form than a candle flame. She was utterly….free.” 

“Keller couldn’t understand what was happening at first. In panic, all she could think was that she was losing herself. Losing her armor, her hardness, everything she needed to keep alive.”

“This was the problem with having walls so hard and high and unscalable, she supposed. When they came down, they crumbled completely, shattering into nothingness. She felt utterly defenseless right now.”


“People die… Beauty fades… Love changes… And you will always be alone.”

“People die…so love them every day.

Beauty fades…so look before it’s gone.

Love changes…but not the love you give.

And if you love, you’ll never be alone.”
