The House in the Cerulean Sea (Cerulean Chronicles, #1)

by T.J. Klune

How can we fight prejudice if we do nothing to change it? If we allow it to fester, what’s the point?”

As long as you listen, you can hear all manner of things you never thought were there to begin with.

But we must pick and choose our fights. Just because someone else acts a certain way, doesn’t mean we should respond in kind. It’s what makes us different. It’s what makes us good.”

“It’s not fair.” “No. It’s not. Life rarely is. But we deal with it the best we can. And we allow ourselves to hope for the best. Because a life without hope isn’t a life lived at all.”

I’ll ask for you to listen instead of judging that which you don’t understand.”

We are who we are not because of our birthright, but because of what we choose to do in this life. It cannot be boiled down to black and white. Not when there is so much in between.
