Quotes

[Krista]

Here's a place to write down quotes and sentences that stand out to you! I'm finding a few along the way and thought it might be nice to collect them all in one place and see what stands out to everyone else as well.

"Winter comes like a punch in the dark."

Chapter 3. Page 68


This made me laugh a bit because I feel this way about winter all the time, especially late winter that just won't leave or those storms like we had a couple days ago that come out of the blue and dump a ton of snow!

[Krista]

Another season quote that I found -

"I feel drunk with summer and sunlight. I want to seize fistfuls of sky and eat them."

Ch. 4, page 99.


Have you ever felt that way in the summer? I may not have ever put it into those words, but I've felt it!

Krista I love the quotes you put here. I totally agree with you on them also. I am feeling that way about winter right abut now when I here we are getting more snow on Monday. But drunk on summer is such and awesome feeling and I think I have it at the very beginning when you have been waiting all through winter for those summer days and nights.

Two quotes or that hit me were

Toti persisted. " But, Agnes, actions speak louder than words."
"Actions lie," Agnes retorted quickly " Sometimes people never stood a chance in the beginning, or they might have made a mistake. When people start saying things like she must be a bad mother because of that mistake....."

Chapter 4 page 103

I feel this way sometimes as a mom and people just don't give chances or should I say second chances for little things thus leading to larger mistakes.


"I did not see that we were surrounded by tinder until I felt it burst into flames."

Chapter 7 page 186
