“Her heart was broken, shattered to pieces, but she felt nothing. Just numb. She had been hanging on to this love - this hope - that she would find happiness one day. That she would have a happy ending. But instead there was nothing for her here. It was clear there never was.”

—Lost in Time by Melissa De La Cruz

“Maybe this was what love meant after all: sacrifice and selflessness. It did not mean hearts and flowers and a happy ending, but the knowledge that another's well-being is more important than one's own.”

—Lost in Time by Melissa De La Cruz

“It's not everyday I get to visit hell. Do I get a souvenir?”

—Oliver Hazard-Perry (Lost in Time by Melissa de la Cruz)

“I laugh in the face of Death. But then again, I am Death.”

—Mimi Force/Azrael (Angel of Death) (Masquerade by Melissa de la Cruz)

“. . . certainly he'd always been good at stealing things from her. Like her clothes, or her heart.”

—Gates of Paradise, Melissa de la Cruz

“You cannot be with someone just because you don't want to hurt him. You have your own happiness to think about.”

—Gates of Paradise, Melissa de la Cruz

“Maybe she was crazy to think it would last, that any of it -- their love, their joy together -- would hold, given the darkness that had been part of their union from the beginning. And later she would wish she had enjoyed it more, that she had spent less time removing his arms from her waist, telling him to wait. She would wish for one more night spent in a roadside cafe holding hands under the tables; one more morning. She would cherish the small moments of togetherness, the two of them sitting side by side in bed, just the simple touch of his hand on her knee sending shivers up her spine.”

—Schuyler about Jack - Lost in Time - Melissa De La Cruz
