Maybe the secret of the stars has nothing to do with being alone.
Beth Revis

I'll always come back to you.
Beth Revis

I have never desired anything more than him in this moment.
Beth Revis

This is the secret of the stars. In the end, we are alone no matter how close you seem, no one else can touch you. Maybe the secret of the stars has nothing to do with being alone.

I will do anything to make her happy again, so I give her the stars.

It wasn't that he called me a freak. It was the way he said it. Like he really meant it. Like he believed it.

I shut my eyes, and I force myself to feel myself. You never really think of what it’s like to be in your body, but even with my eyes shut, I can feel the boundaries of my skin, real or not. Everything that’s me is contained inside this body, and I feel it all. The heartbeat I cannot control. The mind that may not be mine. I am here, in this moment, in this body. All that I am—maybe not all that I ever was, but all that I currently am—is right here.

Elder mocked me for praying once, and i spent an hour berating him for that. He ended up throwing up his hands, laughing, and telling me i could believe whatever i wanted if i was going to hold onto my beliefs so hard.

There’s a war going on, that much is clear. And I’m no longer sure I’m on the right side.

He's the only stable thing in the swirling chaos.
Beth Revis

Don't you see? Those monsters you've been so worried about. Not aliens. People. The monsters have always been people.
Beth Revis

I. Can't. Do this. I can't. It's too much. This-all of this-living- I can't. I just can't. To have given it all up and be left with nothing but this metal wall.
Beth Revis
-
I’m not human. I’m better.
Beth Revis
-
What if eternity is nothing more than me, alone, in the darkness?
Beth Revis

I learned long ago that home is a word that applies to people, not places... Didn't matter to me where I was - it mattered who I was with.
Beth Revis
-
As soon as I say the words, I know they were the right ones. My eyes dip down to Dad’s memorial plaque. Truth doesn’t lie in the heart of fortune… it’s under Triumph Towers, where the labs are.
Beth Revis
-
For a moment, he looks back at me, and his farewell is in his smile. Then he turns to the stars. And he is gone.
Beth Revis
-
You gonna fight for something, you fight for something that you're willing to die for.

I bet when Eldest posed for his portrait, he was reveling in the one thing I can’t stand about life aboard the ship: the perfect evenness of everything.
