It is like a piece of my soul had been lost, empty, and it is now filled with the light of a million stars.

If you love someone – deeply, in as true a way as you can – you will get hurt. People leave us and love falls apart, and when it does, it hurts. It should hurt. How can you not hurt when what you love is gone?
-
I would trade all the stars in the universe if I could just have him back again.
-
Perhaps the only thing worse than fear is apathy. Fear makes us do horrible things to people. Apathy makes us allow horrible things to happen to them.
-
I might have the whole world now, but it's not enough if I don't get to share it with her.
-
You are not one person. You are a different person in each moment in time. Your name means nothing. Go see a person with the same name in a different time, and it’s someone else entirely.
-
This is the secret of the stars, I tell myself. In the end, we are alone. No matter how close you seem, no one else can touch you.
-
This ship is built on secrets; it runs on secrets. And if you keep asking about them, you'll see how far I'm willing to go to keep mine.
-
Everyone has wounds; everyone pretends they don’t.
-
I want to take her into my arms and hold her tight. But at the same time, I know that is the exact opposite of what she wants. She wants to be free, and all I want is to hold her tight against me.
-
Don't stagnate because of fear.
-
People are, at their heart, constantly moving toward a state of entropy. Much like this ship. We’re all spiraling out of control.
-
He doesn’t look like a man who’s contemplating treason. He looks terrified.
-
A leader doesn't make pawns - he makes people.
-
If someone loves you, he'll wait for you to love him back.
-
And I look at Harley, and the billions of stars are in his eyes, and he's drinking them up, pouring them into his soul.
-
I have no idea why she needs them. I just know that I'd face another plague to get them for her if I had to. Fortunately, it's a lot easier than that.
-
Power isn't control at all-power is strength, and giving that strength to others. A leader isn't someone who forces others to make him stronger; a leader is someone willing to give his strength to others that they may have the strength to stand on their own.
-
Ella!" the voice yells, but I cannot tell where it is coming from. The sound wraps around me, spreading like spilt water and then evaporating into silence.
-
My heart will never forget what it’s like to fade in and out of time, to never know if one year or a thousand have passed by, to torture yourself with the idea of your soul trapped behind ice for all eternity. I know what torture there is behind ice.
-
So you’re sticking with me, and I’m sticking with you.
-
I click on the deaths and read the names carefully, memorising them. Because here’s the simple truth—if I hadn’t taken the ship off Phydus, people like ***** and ******* would still be alive. And while I could say that a shorter life with feelings is better than a longer life without, the dead can’t tell me their side.
-
But of course these are scientists. Tell them to leave something alone, and all they want to do is poke it with a stick.
-
I told Victria that love is a choice, and I told myself that I didn't have to choose Elder, but I can't forget the way my heart stopped when his did.
