Quotes from The Eternal Ones

“All the most powerful emotions come from chaos -fear,anger,love- especially love. Love is chaos itself. Think about it! Love makes no sense. It shakes you up and spins you around. And then, eventually , it falls apart.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“You know, sometimes when you're too close to someone, it's hard to see who they really are.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“Sometimes when we're in love, we take the facts and spin them into pretty stories. But it's a dangerous thing to do--because one day, like it or not, you're going to see the world as it really is. You find out people aren't always who you want them to be. And if you're not ready for the truth...well, let's just say it can come as a bit of a shock.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“I look for you in every life, but I don't always find you. And sometimes I find you too late.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“My faith is big enough to accept all of God's wonders.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“Yes, it's funny, isn't it? You try to do what's best for the people you love, and you just end up in trouble for your efforts.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“Beau, will you please watch the entrance for us?"
"What should I do if I see anyone suspicious?"
"Kick a car," Iain said.
"Kick a car?"
"To set off the alarm."
"Gotcha," Beau said. "Good thinking.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“But there was still something missing. Something that nagged at her-an emptiness she couldn't explain. There were mornings she woke with her heart pounding wildly and the sensation of arms wrapped around her. But the feeling slipped away the moment she opened her eyes, and no matter how quickly she squeezed them shut, she couldn't recapture the contentment she'd felt.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“Because I love you," Iain said simply. "I always have. I love your bad temper. I love your jealous streak. I love your strength and pigheadedness. And I know you love me. And sometimes love makes people go a little crazy. The insanity won't last forever...I hope.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“I can’t run around falling in love with fantasies.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“Don't expect me to be perfect. Despite all my lives, I'm still only human. I can't deliver perfection, and I'll only disappoint you. But I want you to know that you are the most important person to me. I'm trying to protect you.

Sometimes I screw things up. I may even tell a white lie every now and then. But you have to give me the benefit of the doubt.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“I've been called many things. But I suppose 'the devil' is as good a name as any.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“El amor y la fe van de la mano. No se puede tener uno sin la otra. Y como todos sabemos, no siempre es seguro dar ese paso. A veces se juzga equivocadamente, y se acaba mordiendo el polvo. Pero a menos que demos ese paso, nunca sabremos qué hay del otro lado. Hay que buscar agallas para hacerlo.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“You see, faith means listening to your heart, not just your heard. It's not about ignoring facts; it's about being willing to see around them sometimes.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“The problems come when it's time to put our faith in things other than the Lord. There's no doubt that other people can be tricky. But once again, it's all about listening to your heart. That don't mean you should ignore what your head's telling you. But your heart will do a much better job of helping you figure out who's good and who ain't. Who deserves your faith, and who doesn't. If you judge solely by evidence, you could wind up making some big mistakes.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“Love and faith go hand in hand. You can't have one without the other. And as we all know, taking the leap ain't always safe. Sometimes you judge poorly, and you land right on your face. But unless you make the jump, you'll never know what's on the other side. You just gotta find the guts to do it.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“-Creo que debería acompañarlos-replicó Beau-. No estoy seguro de que sea una buena idea aún dejar a Haven sola contigo.
-Es un poco sobreprotector-le explicó Haven a Iain.
-Él siempre ha sido así-comentó Iain-. Yo no esperaría que cambie pronto.
-¿Cómo sabes que siempre he sido así?-preguntó Beau, molesto-. Tenemos media hora de conocernos.
-Tenemos al menos quinientos años de conocernos-lo corrigió Iain-. Tú eras hermano de ella cuando te conocí. En ese entonces también te llevó algo de tiempo aceptarme.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

“They may think they understand how God works, but if were were able to understand how God works, we wouldn't need faith, now would we?”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

on the remote. It’s probably wedged between her butt cheeks.”

-Jamás pensé que llegaríamos a este lugar-dijo ella.
-Y yo tuve fe en que lo haríamos.
Él tomó la mano de ella y le plantó un beso.
-¿Todo ha terminado?
-Por ahora-respondió él.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

-¿Qué debo hacer si veo algo sospechoso?
-Patear un coche-respondió Iain.
-¿Patear un coche?
-Para activar la alarma.
-¡Oralé!-dijo Beau-. Buena idea.”

—Lo único que sé es que atraemos a las personas que hemos amado antes.
—¿Y tú y yo nos hemos encontrado en cada vida?
—Ojalá fuera así de fácil. Te busco en cada vida, pero no siempre te encuentro. Y a veces te encuentro demasiado tarde.”
― Kirsten Miller, quote from The Eternal Ones

About the author

Popular quotes

“I hate the idea of losing you again. But what’s worse is that I hate you for being gone in the first place. I hate you for not telling me where you were and that you were okay. I hate you for endangering my life, Nelly’s life, and Otis’s life with your lies. And I hate you for letting Mom die, for not protecting her. I hate you.” Vlad crossed the room and gripped the doorknob. It was only then that he realized that his hands were shaking. Before stepping out the door, he whispered, because it was all he could bear to do. “But the worst part is that I hate myself for hating you.”
― Heather Brewer, quote from Twelfth Grade Kills

“A man can control only what he comprehends, and comprehend only what he is able to put into words. The inexpressible therefore is unknowable. By examining future stages in the evolution of language we come to learn what discoveries, changes and social revolutions the language will be capable, some day, of reflecting.”
― Stanisław Lem, quote from The Futurological Congress: From the Memoirs of Ijon Tichy

“Real wealth, of course, consists in what is produced and consumed: the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the houses we live in.”
― Henry Hazlitt, quote from Economics in One Lesson: The Shortest & Surest Way to Understand Basic Economics

― Arthur Rimbaud, quote from Complete Works
