The best quotes by the author we have brought to you
“I understand, now, that your own identity, your past, has nothing to do with the way others see you. Being a hero isn’t about someone else’s definition. Not Abigail’s and not Constance’s. Not the Post’s. Not even Claire’s. Being a hero is about one thing: the way you see yourself.” (The Edge of Falling Quotes)

“I’m trying hard to remain composed. His face slackens, smooths out, and I can’t help but run my eyes over his cheeks, his ears, the freckle on his face.

It doesn’t disappear, but just morphs, changes form.”

“That’s real life. Things don’t always work out the way you think they will. They’re not so neat and tidy. But people come into your life with a purpose-I see that now. Claire likes to say that people cross your paths for a reason, a season, or a lifetime. Astor was a reason. Hayley, though? Hayley is a lifetime.”

“That’s the thing about the places we come from – they probably say the least about who we really are than anything.”
