They lay lodged, 
though not dead.
I know how the flowers felt."

~Robert Frost

"I love you more than I hate everything else."

"Nobody's lives just fit together. Fitting together is something you work at. It's something you make happen - because you love each other." 

“You don't know when you're twenty-three. You don't know what it really means to crawl into someone else's life and stay there. You can't see all the ways you're going to get tangled, how you're going to bond skin to skin. How the idea of separating will feel in five years, in ten--in fifteen... She didn't know at twenty-three.” 

~Landline, by Rainbow Rowell 

By far one of my favorite authors. ♥ ♥ ♥

No gun, no sword, no army or king will ever be more powerful than a sentence. Swords may cut and kill, but words will stab and stay, burying themselves in our bones to become corpses we carry into the future, all the time digging and flailing to rip their skeletons from our flesh."

~Fangirl, by Rainbow Rowell






There are so many quotable parts from Fangirl. I could do at least half a year's worth of Memorable Monday's with it. ;) It's such a great read. I miss these people... I want to go to Pound Hall and visit them all. Yes, I realize that's not a real place (I assume not, at least), but that doesn't stop me from wanting to go visit Cath, Reagan, Levi, and Wren.

~Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins







I know, I know. I've been on this book for what seems like forever. And maybe it's partly because I've read it before, but mostly it's because I'm so freaking busy this month that when I do have free time to read I'd rather just veg out. But I do love this entire story, so I will continue to read it. :)  My goal is to finish the series before the start of the new year. We'll see how that works out. lol

If I held them out because I loved him, I am still self-centered, although forgivable. But if I held them out to defy the capitol, I am someone of worth. The trouble is, I don't know exactly what was going on inside me at that moment.”

~The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins 





 
I couldn't decide what to read next after I finished The Moon and More by Sarah Dessen. So I decided to go back to an old favorite. Plus, with the holidays, it's sometimes harder to find that time to read. So a re-read is perfect for me. Anyway. I love this quote (along with a gazillion others). It shows that they already have the courage to show how much they disagree, even if in the smallest of ways.

"Everything had started in such sharp detail, each aspect pronounced and clear. Obviously, endings were different. Harder to see, full of shapes that could be one thing or another, with all the things that you were once so sure of suddenly not familiar, if they were even recognizable at all."

~Sarah Dessen, The Moon and More 





Sarah Dessen is so quotable. ;) I love this one. It definitely speaks the truth. Things get so muddled at the endings of things, especially if the ending is bad. The clarity is lost, nothing will ever be or feel the same.

It is one of my favorite quotes and actually hangs in my house. :) I didn't choose it based on its relation to freedom/veterans/military, but I chose it because, well, it's Martin Luther King, Jr.

Faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase.

"We don't have to do anything at all to die. We can hide in a cupboard under the stairs our whole life and it'll still find us. Death will show up wearing an invisible cloak and it will wave a magic wand and whisk us away when we least expect it. It will erase every trace of our existence on this earth and it will do all this work for free. It will ask for nothing in return. it will take a bow at our funeral and accept the accolades for a job well done and then it will disappear.

Living is a little more complex. There's always one thing we have to do.

Breathe."
