Every week I will pick a quote from a book I read, am reading, or that is my favourite, and share it with you all through this post.
“Carson McClain, you scare me like nothing has ever scared me before. You drive me crazy and make me laugh and push my buttons on purpose. You make me feel safe and smart and pretty. Sometimes I think I might actually melt when you wrap your arms around me, and right now I feel a little bit like I might die if you don’t kiss me.”
“I guess that’s what saying good-bye is always like–like jumping off an edge. The worst part is making the choice to do it. Once you’re in the air, there’s nothing you can do but let go.”
“All the money, all the power—none of it compares to a good book. A book gives you everything. It gives you a window into other souls, other worlds.”
We passed another table with a giant red printing machine where an elf was pressing big green buttons. As he pushed the controls different books would fly out of the top of the huge machine and land into different elf hands.
‘Books,’ said Father Christmas, ‘are the greatest gifts of all. Nothing else comes close.’
“He lived in a dreamer’s world of ivory keys and messy shirts, unconcerned with the people around him.”
“He had everything a dream boy should have. Back, front, sides, Everything. A head.”
“It doesn’t mean everything will always be perfect, but it does mean that when things are imperfect you can trust the other person to get you through.”
“Every good story needs a villain.
But the best villains are the ones you secretly like.”
“Where does a spirit go? Where does the new world begin? Into the boughs of the trees? Into the stone of the earth? Into the flow of the river? Into the ether of the air? It passes from one person to another, each into the other.”
“Let it guide you into a grand love affair with yourself. Until the love becomes so second nature you need it no more.”
