Sometimes you build up these walls, you build and you build and you think they’re so strong, and then someone can come along and tip them over with only his fingers, or the weight of his breath.

Wild Roses, Deb Caletti

His feelings were too complicated this evening. He wanted to share them, but he wasn't eager to begin the process of sifting through his own complicated emotions.

The Giver, Lois Lowry

[sdesilmarillion]

I think she was afraid to love sometimes. I think it scared her. She was the type to like things that are concrete, like the ocean. Something you could point to and know what it was. I think that’s why she always struggled with God. And I think that’s why she also struggled with love. She couldn’t touch it. She couldn’t hold on to it and make sure it never changed.

Sometimes it’s those things you can’t touch that you need to hold on to the most.

The Dead-Tossed Waves, Carrie Ryan
