Favorite Quotes from The Host
“ Maybe it’s an accident, maybe it’s fate, but it appears to me that the strongest of our kind is being hosted by the strongest of theirs.” – Kathy, Wanderer’s Comforter
“ Don’t you see? For millions of my own kind, I’ve never been able to do that. Not for my own…children. I was always too afraid to die that final time. But I can do it for one alien child.” – Wanda (to Jared)

Your definition of human is not the same as mine. To you, it means something…negative. To me, it’s a complement—and by my definition, you are and he isn’t. Not after this.” – Ian (to Wanda/Wanderer).
“ There was no hatred in your heart,” I whispered. “That you existed is proof that we were wrong. We had no right to take your world from you, Walter. I hope your fairytales are true. I hope you find your Gladdie.” – Wanda’s eulogy for Walter

“ But I’m better at lying than you are. I can even lie to myself.” – Jared (to Wanda)
I hate you, the voice snarled in my head. (Melanie)
“ Then maybe you should leave,” I snapped. (Wanderer) – Chapter 4
“ No! I can’t erase Melanie! I can’t. That would be wrong! That would make me a monster, too!” – Wanda (to Ian) – Chapter 42

“ I find myself unable to be the death of you, Wanda. I can’t stand it.” – Melanie
The Seeker’s host body was named Lacey; a dainty, soft, feminine name. Lacey. As inappropriate as the size, in my opinion. Like naming a pit bull Fluffy. – Wanda
“ You are the noblest, purest creature I’ve ever met. The universe will be a darker place without you,” he whispered. – Doc (to Wanda)
