added a quote:
""He suddenly recalled from Plato's Symposium: People were hermaphrodites until God split then in two, and now all the halves wander the world over seeking one another. Love is the longing for the half of ourselves we have lost." " — Milan Kundera | |

Jessica
added a quote:
"Anyone whose goal is 'something higher' must expect someday to suffer vertigo. What is vertigo? Fear of falling? No, Vertigo is something other than fear of falling. It is the voice of the emptiness below us which tempts and lures us, it is the desire to fall, against which, terrified, we defend ourselves. " — Milan Kundera, The Unbearable Lightness of Being | |

Jessica
added a quote:
"Man can will nothing unless he has first understood that he must count on no one but himself; that he is alone, abandoned on earth in the midst of his infinite responsibilities, without help, with no other aim than the one he sets himself, with no other destiny than the one he forges for himself on this earth. " — Jean-Paul Sartre | |

added a quote:
"Man is condemned to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does. It is up to you to give [life:] a meaning." — Jean-Paul Sartre | |

Hey Jess! I'm trying to find a specific book and I figured I'd give you a try since I know you read a lot more than most of my other friends. A long time ago, I read a "young adult" book where kids were fighting to survive in a world that had sort of fallen to pieces. I remember them living in some sort of underground home (I want to say submarine but I don't know if that's right or not) and I remember it being sort of fantasy/sci-fi ish. If you have any ideas, let me know!! Also, I have added a lot of the books you've read to my list, so thanks! :)
