Kindle Notes & Highlights
Some stories begin at the beginning and others begin at the end, but all the best stories begin in a library.
Curses are like knots, the more you struggle to be free, the tighter they become, whether they’re made of rope or spite or desperation.
Seeing has little to do with opening your eyes; it’s what you feel inside that counts, it’s what you know without anyone telling you.
Life was like a book, Jet thought, but one you would never finish. You would never know how people would wind up; the good often suffered and the wicked prospered and there was no explanation for the way in which fate was meted out as there was in novels.
Life all happened so quickly; people tell you it will, but you won’t believe it until it happens to you. Cry all you want, being young will slip through your hands and you will be left standing there, you who were once so young, not recognizing yourself or your life.
you must be yourself no matter what; anything else was a lie, and a denial of who you were would always cause grief. What you put out into the world came back to you threefold. If you could not accept yourself, you would be reviled and cast out, adrift in the world.
There are some things you have only once in a lifetime, and then only if you’re lucky.
If there be a cure, seek till you find it. If there be none, never mind it.
Words were everything, stories were more powerful than any weapon, books changed lives.
What you wind up regretting aren’t the things you do, it’s what you don’t do that you will never forgive yourself for.
Who you trust is everything. Who you trust can save you or ruin your life. Never give your words away.
Unable are the Loved to die, for love is immortality,
Read as many books as you can. Choose courage over caution. Take time to visit libraries. Look for light in the darkness. Have faith in yourself. Know that love is what matters most.
