― Jandy Nelson, The Sky Is Everywhere
“If you let hope inside, it takes you over. It feeds on your insides and uses your bones to climb and grow. Eventually it becomes the thing that is your bones, that holds you together. Holds you up until you don’t know how to live without it anymore. To pull it out of you would kill you entirely.”
― Ally Condie, Reached
to
wake up a dried-out, bitter old hag with plenty of science awards
but no personal life whatsoever. And you’ll sit there at night and
sob about
how you’ve wasted your life.
By each let this be heard
Some do it with a bitter look
Some with a flattering word
The coward does it with a kiss
The brave man with a sword
― Veronica Roth, Insurgent
By each let this be heard,
Some do it with a bitter look,
Some with a flattering word,
The coward does it with a kiss,
The brave man with a sword!
― Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
