“Rafaela, we all hurt people." Tobias’ voice was sharp. "That’s universal. We’re all broken and those shards will cut those around us.”
― Elizabeth C. Mock, Shatter
― Elizabeth C. Mock, Shatter
“Information is not understanding,” Tobias replied, his light-hearted tone replaced with sobriety. “You can give information, but you can never give understanding.”
― Elizabeth C. Mock, Shatter
― Elizabeth C. Mock, Shatter
“You're talking like the choices others made were the only choices someone could make given the choices you made." Mireya paused. "I think."
"That's quite a mouthful."
“But it's what you're thinking. Yes, you made specific choices, bad ones too. But the choices others make, they make them. You don't. Just because you made the wrong choices, doesn't mean you deserved everything bad that happens to you. Don't you see?"
"Not all the consequences are bad, Mireya," Faela said her voice soft.”
― Elizabeth C. Mock, Shatter

“Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.”
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
“Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness.”
― George Orwell
― George Orwell
“If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair.”
― C.S. Lewis
― C.S. Lewis
“Stories are for joining the past to the future. Stories are for those late hours in the night when you can't remember how you got from where you were to where you are. Stories ar for eternity, when memory is erased, when there is nothing to remember except the story.”
― Tim O'Brien, The Things They Carried
― Tim O'Brien, The Things They Carried
“A philosopher knows that in reality he knows very little. That is why he constantly strives to achieve true insight. Socrates was one of these rare people. He knew that he knew nothing about life and about the world. And now comes the important part: it troubled him that he knew so little.”
― Jostein Gaarder, Sophie's World
