Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Books aren’t life. People use them to escape life, learn things that will help them achieve success, or find new ways to cope with life. Life is what happens outside the bound story. Life isn’t the letters on the page; it’s what inspires those words.”
“Don’t ever surrender.” He hands me a menu. “Promise me you’ll always make me work for it.” It’s hard not to surrender to that smile. “Work for what?” I hide behind the menu before he melts me into a puddle of mush with one look. Fucking mating dance … “You.”
It’s tough to fall in love with something and feel judged for that love. Books possess power. They are no more ink and paper than humans are flesh and bones. Humans have souls … books have souls. They reach across oceans. Bridge divides. They are so much more than the hands that write them. Books transcend time. Stories don’t die. They are immortal. They are timeless. I guess I’m a romantic for books. When someone shares my love of a story, it reaches deeper than a kiss, and it’s a bond that can’t be broken.
Egos are the demise of humanity. They’re immune to true emotions and all reason. Egos don’t know how to love. The ego eclipses everything good in life when we let it.
I have no direction in my life because this woman is the sunrise for which I wait in the dark to chase after every long night.
