I don't belong to you ... You thought if I married you that I would, but I don't. I don't belong to any man ... I only belong to myself. But belonging to myself doesn't mean I don't love you or that I don't want to stand beside you. ~ Christina Henry

It's easy to forget the good things.' Hatcher said ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
It's not as easy as you'd think, burning a dead creature. Flesh and skin want to cook and crisp and char rather than ignite. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
There were monsters in the night but there were monsters in the day too, and monsters inside people who smiled and showed you all their teeth like they were nice. There were monsters inside Alice, but they only had power if she gave it to them, and other things had power too, like the laughter of children enjoying a picnic together and like the love she had for this terrible, wonderful, imperfect man, this man who hid inside the body of a wolf because he thought that was where he belonged. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
Most men give a girl a ring, you know, not threaten them with murder." Hatcher ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
She was thinking of the girls who'd escaped with Pipkin, and hoped that they ran in the grass with bare feet, laughing in the sun. She wanted a promise of joy for someone, even if she could not have it for herself. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
There's nothing worse than having a fit and no one giving you the proper attention for it. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
You mean murder and eat," Alice said.
"No, I mean eat and murder," the rat said. "I'd rather it the other way around, wouldn't you?"
"I'd rather it not all all," Alice said. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
Adults, Alice reflected, could learn something from the way children bounced back from horror like little rubber balls. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
The faster she ran, the freer she was, fast and free and far away from everything that hurt. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
There's nowhere for us to go back to. We can go forward. We can find our way out. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
Alice dreamed of blood. Blood on her hands and under her feet, blood in her mouth and pouring from her eyes. The room was filled with it. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
I didn't believe him at first, about the island, though."

"I didn't either,"I said. "I don't know that anyone does. It sounds like a fantastic lie."

"It is a fantastic lie," Sal said, and her face was very earnest. "This isn't a wonderful place for boys to play and have adventures and stay young for always. It's a killing place, and we're all just soldiers in Peter's war. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
She remembered a story one of her governesses told her, about a little girl who went into a house that wasn't hers. She sat in three chairs and tasted three bowls of porridge and rolled in three beds. And for being too curious (and, Alice thought, very rude) the little girl was eaten up by the bears who lived there. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
It's not such a wonderful thing, to be young," I said. "It's heartless, and selfish."

"But, oh, so free," Nod said sadly. "So free when you have no worries or cares. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
Until I became human, nobody ever told me there was something wrong with my body. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
Sometimes at night, when the nightmare clung to me, I wondered if Peter's assurances that I would never grow up were only assurances that I would die before such a thing happened. I wondered if that were better, to die before I became something withered and grey and not wanted. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
Occasionally it seemed that her body was actively working against her progress. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
The world gobbles us and chews us and swallows us," Hatcher said, in that uncanny way he had of reading her thoughts. "I think happy endings must be accidents."
"But we hope for them all the same," Alice said. She looked sadly at the remains of those hopeful faces. Above all, we hope not to die in terror. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
Alice could not see his face as she crammed cake into her mouth, and the Rabbit laughed and stroked her braid with his white hands, saying, Pretty little Alice. We'll make you fine and plump, won't we, pretty girl? Pretty Alice.
Alice. Alice.
His hand on her braid, wrapping around it, pulling her head back so she could look into his eyes, his blue-green eyes so angry... eyes snapping, hand pulling her hair until she cried, his voice cracking like a whip, Where do you think you're off to, pretty Alice?
Alice. Alice. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
Was this, too, part of growing up? Was it facing the bad things you'd done as well as the good, and knowing all your mistakes had consequences? Peter made mistakes all the time - he was thoughtless; he hurt people. But it never troubled him, not for a moment. He forgot all about it in an instant. That was being a boy. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
This was not Hatch, her constant companion through the mouse hole. Nor was this the man who had methodically rescued her from a burning building. This was Hatcher, the murderer with the axe, the man who had been found covered in blood and surrounded by bodies. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
Where's home, my Alice?" Hatcher said. "Where's home? We don't have a home, you and I. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
In the Old City there were very few ways for women to stay alive, and all of them involved a man. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
You came, you saw, you burned everything to the ground. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
Cheshire's fingers, cold and slightly damp, stroked down the scar on her cheek. She swallowed the shudder of revulsion at his touch.

"Yes," Cheshire said. "He marked you so that he would know you again, and know that you belong to him."

"I belong to no one," Alice said. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
Women who did what they liked instead of what other people wished were often accused of witchcraft, because only a witch would be so defiant, or so it was thought. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
What about Alice? Did she have a happy ending? ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
Men generally don't recognize the authority of women", Levi said very gently. "It's the way of the world, Amelia. I'm sorry it distress you."
"The world", Amelia said, "is wrong about so many things. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
Girls like us, we have to save ourselves. Nobody else will get you home. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
They all thought they were special, but only I was. I was first and none of them could take that from me. I was first and best and last and always. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
She is just a woman trying not to get killed in a world that doesn't look anything like the one she grew up in, the one that was perfectly sane and normal and boring until three months ago. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
Was this, I wondered, what it felt like to be a grown-up? Did you always feel the weight of things on you, your cares pressing you down like a burden you could never shake? No wonder Peter could fly. He had no worries to weight him to the earth. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
She heard a little popping noise then like something had broken in the space between them.

Cheshire frowned. "That was not very fun of you at all, Alice. I've so enjoyed your adventures."

"Yes, but they are my adventures," Alice said. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
Just because I'm mad doesn't mean I'm not right. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
..."I think happy endings must be accidents."
"But we hope for them all the same," Alice said. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
Lucifer's kingdom is metaphorical, not literal. The fallen are scattered throughout the world, maintaining different bases of power for him."
"And my father lives in Minneapolis," I repeated.
"Yes."
"And where does Lucifer live?"
"Los Angeles."
I let out a laugh at that. "Of course he does. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
Thorns pricked at her skin everywhere, poked at her face ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
She didn't have to be Cheshire's ideal of a Magician or Hatcher's ideal of a lover or her parents' ideal of a daughter. She could be Alice. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
They wanted the moon, but they hadn't realize it cost the earth. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
We were still children, for all that we thought we weren't. We were in that in-between place, the twilight between childish things and grown-up things. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
Alice remembered who she was before. She just couldn't recall what had happened to that girl to make her this girl. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
I want to rest, "Alice said, and she meant it with all her heart. "Once I lived in a cage, and before that a different kind of cage. I tried to break free from the first one and they put me in one that was much, much worse. All I want is to find a place I have dreamed of, a little cottage in a green field by a lake. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
I am not a pyromaniac," I said. "I only set things on fire because it's expedient ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
All children grow up, or they die, or both. All children, except one. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
But you can't escape from shadows or pain. You only find new ones. It's better, I think, not to try to escape them at all but to accept that they will be there, and to remember that good things happen, too, even if you can't always see them. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
There was comfort in ignorance, in thinking the world a certain way and not knowing any different. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
Humans often valued what they should not, she reflected, and most often they did not value what was right before their eyes. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
Why is it that assholes just go on and on, even when the world would be a better place if they just dropped dead?"
"Because their assholery protects them. They're so full of bile that the virus can't get a toehold," Adam said. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
He won't be safe," Hatcher repeated. "For I will find him and I will strip the flesh from his bones piece by piece. There is no place the Rabbit can hide, no hole he can disappear into. I will not sleep again until I have heard him scream for mercy he will never receive. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
She must start believing in impossible things, for impossible things kept appearing before her eyes. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
If she moved her head all the way up against the wall and tilted it to the left she could just see the edge of the moon through the bars. Just a silver sliver, almost close enough to eat. A sliver of cheese, a sliver of cake, a cup of tea to be polite. Someone had given her a cup of tea once, someone with blue-green eyes and long ears. Funny how she couldn't remember his face, though. All that part was hazy, her memory of him wrapped in smoke but for the eyes and ears. And the ears were long and furry. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
No man in the New City could love her as Hatcher did - of that Alice was certain. It was deep and all-consuming but somehow never suffocating. It was unselfish. It did not ask for anything and yet he made no secret of his need. There was no one in the world like Hatcher, and if she hadn't been mad, there would be no Hatcher for her. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
Why is a girl less valuable than a boy?" Amelia asked. She'd heard this before and did not understand it. Did not women bear the next generation? Was not that power more profound than anything a man could do? "Men like to have sons to carry on their name," Charity said. "They aren't men otherwise. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
It was Peter's island, Peter who'd brought us here, and in the back of every boy's mind was some form of the same thought - He could send me back, if he wanted. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
I was suddenly sorry I'd grown, even if it was only a little, and wished I could be similar again and that it was just Peter and me, running and climbing and laughing, back when the island was ours ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
I huffed out a deep breath. "It's something huge, isn't it?" Beezle nodded. "Yup."
There was a sound of several limbs splashing in the water. "Is it all squishy and tentacly?"
"Yup."
"I hate my life," I said, and as I turned I conjured a ball of nightfire and threw it. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
He'd been around the island for a while, and I'm sorry to say that being bashed around in Battle and at raids had done nothing very good for his brains. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
Everything else is the past or the future. Don't think about them. Be here with me, right now. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
You seem very confident in him all of a sudden," Alice said.

"He was very gentle with that girl," he said.

That, Alice realized, carried more weight with Hatcher than the rabbit's brutal disassembly of the Walrus. And that was why she loved him. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
He was haunted, same as she was, except he didn't know the name of his ghost. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
She would never comprehend the need to hurt those who never hurt her, the need to hate for the sake of hating. She never wanted to rule over others in fear. No, she would never understand the Jabberwocky. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
Interesting' meant that you attracted the notice of men who would hurt you to possess whatever they found 'interesting' about you. ~ Christina Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Christina Henry
It was grey windless weather, and the bell of the little old church that nestled in the hollow of the Sussex down sounded near and domestic. We were a straggling procession in the mild damp air - which, as always at that season, gave one the feeling that after the trees were bare there was more of it, a larger sky ...
("Sir Edmund Orme") ~ Henry James
Christina Henry quotes by Henry James
Always remember that however good you may be, the game is your master. ~ John Henry Taylor
Christina Henry quotes by John Henry Taylor
The wasteland that is your memory now comes under the absolute dictatorship of idols too terrible to mention. ~ Jack Henry Abbott
Christina Henry quotes by Jack Henry Abbott
We are superior to the joy we experience. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Christina Henry quotes by Henry David Thoreau
War's stupid. Nobody wins. You might as well talk first; you have to talk last anyway. ~ Henry Allingham
Christina Henry quotes by Henry Allingham
We shall some day catch an abstract truth by the tail, and then we shall have our religion and our immortality. ~ Henry Adams
Christina Henry quotes by Henry Adams
Gluttony and Lust are the only sins that abuse something that is essential to our survival. ~ Henry Fairlie
Christina Henry quotes by Henry Fairlie
An insuperable obstacle to rapid transit in Africa is the want of carriers, and as speed was the main object of the Expedition under my command, my duty was to lessen this difficulty as much as possible. ~ Henry Morton Stanley
Christina Henry quotes by Henry Morton Stanley
Both the American and the European approaches to foreign policy were the products of their own unique circumstances. Americans inhabited a nearly empty continent shielded from predatory powers by two vast oceans and with weak countries as neighbors. Since America confronted no power in need of being balanced, it could hardly have occupied itself with the challenges of equilibrium even if its leaders had been seized by the bizarre notion of replicating European conditions amidst a people who had turned their backs on Europe. ~ Henry Kissinger
Christina Henry quotes by Henry Kissinger
I am immortal until God's work for me to do is done. The Lord reigns. ~ Henry Martyn
Christina Henry quotes by Henry Martyn
Concord's little arch does not span all our fate, nor is what transpires under it law for the universe. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Christina Henry quotes by Henry David Thoreau
While reactive boundaries signal something that needs to be dealt with, proactive boundaries fix something that is broken. ~ Henry Cloud
Christina Henry quotes by Henry Cloud
You need a little bit of insanity to do great things. ~ Henry Rollins
Christina Henry quotes by Henry Rollins
Trust is both an attitude and an action. Your first small step must be followed by another, and another, until you realize that God has indeed made a way for you to know him personally. The more you act on your faith in God, the more you will see of his way for you. ~ Henry Cloud
Christina Henry quotes by Henry Cloud
Who cares what a man's style is, so it is intelligible,
as intelligible as his thought. Literally and really, the style is no more than the stylus, the pen he writes with; and it is not worth scraping and polishing, and gilding, unless it will write his thoughts the better for it. It is something for use, and not to look at. The question for us is, not whether Pope had a fine style, wrote with a peacock's feather, but whether he uttered useful thoughts. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Christina Henry quotes by Henry David Thoreau
Sure, there were hopes that Constellation's systems could later be adapted to support more ambitious goals. But Apollo had those hopes, too. It didn't work in 1970, and it wasn't going to work in 2020. ~ Henry Spencer
Christina Henry quotes by Henry Spencer
The mass of man lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation, is confirmed desperation. ~ Henry David Thoreau
Christina Henry quotes by Henry David Thoreau
Un-fucking-believable," Mark muttered. "In a country where they let embryos drive cars, I have to wait until I'm twenty-one to buy alcohol. What sort of place lets you drive and vote and fuck before it lets you drink a beer?" He glared at Deacon accusingly. "Well? ~ Lisa Henry
Christina Henry quotes by Lisa Henry
We are going to follow wherever the facts lead us. ~ Henry Hyde
Christina Henry quotes by Henry Hyde
Cultivate the habit of early rising. It is unwise to keep the head long on a level with the feet. ~ Henry David Thoreau
