“And I thought of that hug. A full-body hug. Soothing, healing, intentional—because Lucas hugged like he meant it, like all his focus was on that embrace and that embrace only.”

-The American Roommate Experiment (Elena Armas)

far beneath the surface of the earth, hidden from the sun and the moon, upon the shores of the starless sea, there is a labyrinthine collection of tunnels and rooms filled with stories.

Me: Why am I alive?

Old woman: Because everything else is.

Me: No. I mean the purpose.

Old Woman: That is the purpose. To learn about your relatives.

Me: My family?

Old Woman: Yes. The moon, stars, rocks, trees, plants, water, insects, birds, mammals. Your whole family. Learn about that relationship. How you’re moving through time and space together. That’s why you’re alive.

““Which one?” she demanded. She moved her arms, suggesting he get in one. Tom walked into the room and stood between the two boxes. He looked at the one marked “LOVER” and he looked at the one marked “FRIEND”. He made his decision quickly. With sharp steps he moved in front of the box marked “FRIEND”. Picking it up, he lifted it over his head and put it inside the box marked “LOVER”. Then he turned around, picked up the Perfectionist, and lifted her inside the boxes. He climbed in with her. In the morning, there wasn’t much left of either box.”

“Good and evil are a great deal more complex than a princess and a dragon, or a wolf and a scarlet-clad little girl. And is not the dragon the hero of his own story? Is not the wolf simply acting as a wolf should act?”

Will had opened the blue eyes that had never lost their color over all the passing years, and looked at Jem and then Tessa, and smiled, and died, with Tessa’s head on his shoulder and his hand in Jem’s.

BOOKS I’VE READ ⁽²⁰¹⁸⁾ ·  passenger, alexandra bracken

“Etta looked back at the city, slowly turning to take in the sight of the trees that seemed as if they were steppinh over the walls, the faces on the Bayon that watcher her with tranquil, serene smiles. When in her life would she see this again—see the city at this moment, before humanity came flooding back into it? Never.  This was the danger, the seduction of time travel, she realized—it was the opportunity, the freedom of a thousand possibilities of where to live and how to start over. It was the beauty open to you in your life if you only stopped for a moment to look.”

“There has to be a middle. Without it, nothing can ever truly be whole. Because it is not just the space between, but also what holds everything together.””

“Each day means a new twenty-four hours. Each day means everything’s possible again. You live in the moment, you die in the moment, you take it all one day at a time… You try to walk in the light.”
