Пиколт, Джоди цитаты

„Вот для чего мы читаем книги, верно? Чтобы напомнить себе: не мы одни страдаем на этом свете.“

„Если в конце туннеля не виден свет, тяжело заставить себя продолжать путь.“

„Знаешь, почему соль убивает слизняка? Она растворяется в воде, из которой состоит его кожа, и жидкость изнутри тела начинает вытекать. Слизняк умирает от обезвоживания. То же самое происходит с улитками, пиявками и такими людьми, как я. С любым существом,
у которого слишком тонкая кожа, чтобы оно могло себя защитить.“

„То, что представлялось радугой, оказывается всего лишь игрой света.“

„Знаешь, как я это себе представляю? Плохие вещи будут происходить всегда. Но чудо состоит в том, что свет всегда побеждает тьму. Каждый раз. Ты можешь поставить свечку в темноте, но не можешь воткнуть темноту в свет.“

„… Вы когда-нибудь замечали, что иногда это зеркало, а иногда – просто стекло?
Мне понадобилось несколько секунд, чтобы понять, что он имеет в виду отражение.
– Все дело в том, как падает свет, – пояснил я.
– Есть свет внутри человека света, – пробормотал Шэй. – И он освещает весь мир.“

“It is the things you cannot see coming that are strong enough to kill you.”

“Love is not a because, it's a no matter what.”

“Sometimes to get what you want the most, you have to do what you want the least.”

“Did you ever walk through a room that's packed with people, and feel so lonely you can hardly take the next step?”

“A mathematical formula for happiness:Reality divided by Expectations. There were two ways to be happy:improve your reality or lower your expectations.”

“The truth doesn't always set you free; people prefer to believe prettier, neatley wrapped lies”

“You make yourself strong because it's expected of you. You become confident because someone beside you is unsure. You turn into the person others need you to be.”

“Love is not an equation, it is not a contract, and it is not a happy ending. Love is the slate under the chalk, the ground that buildings rise, and the oxygen in the air. It is the place you come back to, no matter where your headed”

“If you spent your life concentrating on what everyone else thought of you, would you forget who you really were? What if the face you showed the world turned out to be a mask… with nothing beneath it?”

“A photo says, you were happy, and I wanted to catch that. A photo says, you were so important to me that I put down everything else to come watch.”

“true love is felonious… You take someone’s breath away… You rob them of the ability to utter a single word… You steal a heart.”

“Something still exists as long as there's someone around to remember it.”

“It's about a girl who is on the cusp of becoming someone.. A girl who may not know what she wants right now, and she may not know who she is right now, but who deserves the chance to find out.”

“You can't look back - you just have to put the past behind you, and find something better in your future.”

“After a certain point, a heart with so many stress fractures can never be anything but broken.”

“Everyone thinks you make mistakes when you're young. But I don't think we make any fewer when we're grown up”

“Some lessons can't be taught, they simply have to be learned.”

“It's disappointing to know that someone can see right through you.”

“Until this moment, I had not realized that someone could break your heart twice, along the very same fault lines.”

“It doesn't take a whole long life to realize that what we deserve to have, we rarely get.”

“I always hated when my scars started to fade, because as long as I could still see them, I knew why I was hurting.”

“I learn from my own daughter that you don’t have to be awake to cry.”

“Seeing her sitting there unresponsive makes me realize that silence has a sound.”

“I don't think we get a choice in who we fall for," Ian whispers. "I think we just do.”

“Can you hate someone for what they have done, but still love them for whom they had been?”

“See, as much as you want to hold on to the bitter sore memory that someone has left this world, you are still in it”

“In the English language there are orphans and widows, but there is no word for the parents who lose a child.”

“So much of the language of love was like that: you devoured someone with your eyes, you drank in the sight of him, you swallowed him whole. Love was substance, broken down and beating through your bloodstream.”

“You know how every now and then, you have a moment where your whole life stretches out ahead of you like a forked road, and even as you choose one gritty path you've got your eyes on the other the whole time, certain that you're making a mistake.”
