i ate this up and cried like a baby. silas and coraline, wow perfect. it was such a beautiful book, i saw somewhere ppl saying silas didn't deserve an happy ending bc of rosie, but like he avenged her, he mourned her, why doesn't he deserve to be happy? and coraline what a strong beautiful person, oh and when she went to rosie's grave to thank her. i cried like a baby at silas "death" and him being with rosie. thats all ppl i LOVED THIS SERIES I CANT WAIT FOR 2ND GEN. 

- "Coraline Whittaker is a mystery to this town. To me. She is a mirage, a naturally occurring optical phenomenon that bends light rays to produce the image of a girl who is a familiar face but is unknown beneath the surface."

- "They say you don't talk much. Yet, that doesn't seem to be the case."
"With you."

- "Silas." I release a breath. "I need—"
"Whatever you need, it's already yours."

- "Do I look like I'm for sale?" 
"You can't put a price on you," "Men would still pay millions, but that has nothing to do with your looks."

- "This town tells me I'm dead. For a while, a part of me was. Coraline Whittaker has woken something up in me. Desire, longing, need. An ache I've never felt for anyone before. I don't need her to love me. It isn't about love. I need her to be mine."

- "Inevitable checkmate." 
"It means you're mine now, Hex."

- "The first time I kiss you, Hex, is when I make you my wife."

- "Silas, I promise to be your peace when the world provides only war. To be your secret keeper and safe haven. Today, I vow to be the one person who accepts you for who you are and who you will become." "Till death do us part."
"On this day, I vow to make your rage my own, to weather the storm of your revenge and keep you forever safe. I promise to stand by you. No matter what comes, you will never be alone. Till death do us part."

- "She has me, and she doesn't even realize it, so consumed with trying to keep me at bay that she doesn't know I want her pain. I want her screaming hurt and aching rage. That person she hides from the world, the one she fears in the mirror. I want her. And I don't know what that means for me, for us. I've never been one to think clearly when something I want is on the horizon."

- "There is a desire in my gut that's been pooling there since the moment I laid eyes on Coraline. It's a violent fire that staggers and groans, writhes beneath the earth like it does beneath my skin. It's completely unexpected and overwhelming, like it can't get enough of itself. It bleeds and spreads from contact. It's the death of the sun, replaced by the flecks of gold in her eyes.
"You're my wife, Coraline Hawthorne. If I want to cover myself in the blood of a thousand more men to protect you, I will," I tell her. "They cannot hurt you without having to answer to me."

- "You're in control of a monster, Hex. Whatever you need, it's already yours."

- " I bought a plant."
"You bought a fucking lavender plant? Why?"
"Because you like it."
When is she going to realize there is nothing I won't do for her? That if it's what she desires or it benefits her well-being, I'll do it. I'll get whatever it is. She wants a garden of lavender? I'll get her two. She deserves that."

- "I know this is probably really weird, me showing up like this. We don't know each other, but you don't feel like a total stranger to me. I'm falling in love with someone who you once loved, and it feels like that connects us somehow. I mean, we gotta be sorta similar, right? We have the same type." "Anyway, that's not what I wanted to say, and if you're listening, I hope you take this and know that I mean it." "Thank you. Thank you for loving him. I've never met someone so deserving of love every second of every day like Silas." "Thank you for loving him, for showing him how to love others. His heart has helped me in more ways than I'm capable of understanding. I think the kindness everyone always speaks about you having rubbed off on him, probably without him even noticing."

- ""I think you might be my love language, Hex."

- "I want her falling apart. I want both of us falling apart until we are shattered remains of who we were. All so that we can piece each other back together, until we are a mosaic."

- "She's opium. Some addictive substance that I never want to quit. That subtle, sweet sting of drugs being injected into your bloodstream, its tendrils wrapping around your mind, luring you into that secluded place where subtle whispers and sweet release hide. There is peace that lies in her body. Quiet peace after the world has refused to give me only war for years. A stillness that the chaos inside of me craves."

- "In a fake way or in a real way?"
"Nothing about us has ever been fake, Coraline."

- "If you don't believe in the curse, why call me hex?"
"Hexadecimal."
"Huh?"
"It doesn't mean cursed, baby. It's short for hexadecimal.""From the moment I saw you leaving that fucking hell house, there was the secret connection between us. I understood you, saw your pain, and wanted to take it away. Like I knew what you needed before you asked. I'm not calling you cursed, I'm saying you're a special language only I can decode."

- "I don't think I'm going to make it back home. But I can't tell her that. Not when the world has robbed her of enough. I don't want her to lose faith in hope. In her future and the light that's waiting for her at the end of this tunnel. No one deserve light like, Coraline. No one needs it more. A few years ago, all I wanted to do was die. Now, I can feel my heartbeat slowing. Now, I am dying and all I want is another day with her. Just one more day so I can soak in her laugh, feel her touch, experience her love. One more cup of lavender tea. One more scoop of honey in my coffee. One more day."

- "Rosemary's head tilts, a sleep smile tugs at the corner of her fading face. Drifting off to a place of peace. "Can you carry me one last time?"
I wanted to go back, but this? This was the goodbye I never got to say to the person who showed me kindness above all else. This was closure with a person who showed me how to love so that I had it down by the time I met Coraline. Who taught me so much about myself before I even knew who I was? This was a goodbye to my guilt, for not being there. So, I look her one last time, knowing that as long as I live, I'll carry the love Rosemary Donahue and I shared forever. As a testament to her memory, a thank you for all she did.
She died knowing she was loved by many and that's all any of us can ask for at the end of our days.
"Always, Rosie Girl."

- "Curse breaker."
"That what I am, hex?" "Your curse breaker?"
"You are everything, Silas Hawthorne. Everything.", "Even if you are painting your office that ugly ass orange color."
"It has a name, ya know?" "The color."
"Yeah I know, ugly ass orange."
"Hex code #dd4a3d." "It's name is Coraline."
"I'm your favorite color?"
"You're my favorite everything, Hex."

- "There she is. My ruined little thing. Soft and sweet just for me. Believing herself to be so unworthy of love and affection.
"You're not a curse, baby. You're a fucking blessing."

- We'll forever be the bastard sons of Ponderosa Springs, but we know now, that isn't all we are. We are more than rage, sin, lineage, and silence. Alistair Caldwell is more than wrath. He is a fierce protecter, an older brother, a shadow that can not exist without a little light. To know, Rook Van Doren is not internal damnation. It's a blessing to witness his burning, his inferno that consumes and releases the embers of the ones he loves. And Thatcher Pierson is not an apple fallen from a sinister tree. He's the reminder that our family's history does not determine our future. That love is action and never words. I am more than words no one believes. I'm a voice to someone who needs it. We are not unlovable creatures of the night with appetites for violence. There are people, our people, willing to convert to the shadows to show us life beyond vengeance and trauma."

- "To the styx?" I offer.
In the dawn of death, with a fresh start on the horizon.
"To the styx."
This is the echo, that is heard across lifetimes."
