Caden Quotes

We've met before?" Caden murmured and Senka shook his head. They had passed one another in dreams and in lives that Senka could only catch in glimpses, in a remembered smell, or a sudden shiver down his spine as a familiar face glanced his way. ~ A.M. Daily

I still can't figure out if it's bravery or cowardice to take your own life. I can't figure out whether it's being selfish, or selfless. It is the ultimate act of letting go of oneself, or a cheap act of self-possession? People say a failed attempt is a cry for help. I guess that's true if the person meant it to be unsuccessful. But then, I guess most failed attempts aren't entirely sincere, because, let's face it, if you want to off yourself, there are plenty of ways to make sure it works. ~ Neal Shusterman

His demanding tongue tasted so damn good, and his piercing bit deliciously against her lip from the aggressive way he pursued her over and over. His hands tugged and massaged at her hair and neck. He just surrounded her. The difference in their height made Caden lean down over her. The way he forced her head back commanded her to open up to him. With the metal handle of the door pressing into her back, she felt completely enveloped in him, in his ardor, his scent. The world dropped away. There was just Caden. ~ Laura Kaye

she says, "A penny for your thoughts?"

I don't feel like sharing my thoughts, so instead I challenge the question. "Really? Is that all they're worth? A penny?"

She sighs. "It's just an expression, Caden."

"Well, find out when the expression was thought up, and then adjust for inflation."

She shakes her head. "Only you would go there, Caden." Then she leaves me to stew in thoughts I refuse to sell. ~ Neal Shusterman

Your alarm's about to go off in ten minutes," Caden called from the doorway. He had a cup of coffee in hand and wore only jeans.
I tried to keep my eyes front and center, but I lost. The tattoos were a nice little zig-zag pattern, pulling my gaze down, all the way down. Caden's slow, smooth chuckle told me he knew what I'd just done. My cheeks only warmed a little.
I shot him a look, falling back to the pillow. "I feel like this should be the first skip day of my school career."
"You've never skipped before?"
I shook my head, rolling it side to side on the pillow. "Am I missing out? Should I embrace my inner deviant?"
He smirked. "You can skip a class for any reason in the world. It's your life."
I sat up, eyeing that coffee. "You were supposed to be the bad influence."
His eyebrow lifted. "I'm not selling it enough?" He lifted his cup. "You want some coffee?"
"I'm wondering if today is the day I try coffee too."
"You've never had coffee?"
"I'm beginning to think I'm lame." I thought about it. "Really lame."
"You slept at some guy's house last night. Think of it that way." His smirk was back. "Not so lame now."
I could do one better. "I slept at a fraternity house."
"And you drank beer."
"It was the second night in a row that I drank beer."
"See? Not so lame after all."
"You're right." I sat up. "I'm halfway to total badass. ~ Tijan

Caden might be my partner, but he was also the enemy. ~ Laura Thalassa

When I look over my shoulder, both he and Caden are staring up at me with matching looks of interest I've never seen before. ~ Dina Littner

Caden/Asshole drove a Land Rover.
I don't know what I expected, but it wasn't that.
And it was clean. I paused after I opened the door and could only stand there. It was impeccably clean.
He'd already gotten inside. "Please don't tell me the leather offends you."
"It's so clean."
"Yeah?"
I had no clue what came over me, but I broke out in a "Ta-daa!" and my arms lifted like heaven's gate had been thrown open. A full choir and orchestra played out in my voice. "Behold the gloriousness!" Then I dropped my arms and was met with silence.
He tilted his head. "How much did you drink? ~ Tijan

followed Caden to a little dive bar in a strip mall along TV highway where there were a bunch of Harleys in the lot surrounded by bikers. ~ J.D. Garrett

- ... And you keep them all locked in? These visiting carriers?
- They're always watched
- But not locked in? The honor is specific to me?
- You did try to brain me. ~ Sophie Jordan

Damn, woman. Your are so freaking lucky," she said, glancing from Caden to Eli. "Just from the looks they give you I could come in my pants. ~ Lila Rose

I would have seen him. I know this deep in my gut where muscle meets bone and wraps tight. I wouldn't have been able to not look at him. And if I'd ever heard his voice, if he ever sang? I don't know if I could have stayed away. Good girl or not. ~ Sophie Jordan

Just because we are carriers doesn't mean that we have to live without conscience. The minute we forget that, the minute it's every man for himself ... then all is lost. We've become the monsters they say we are. ~ Sophie Jordan

I like to sail. My son Caden and I are avid sailors. ~ Doug Davidson
