I choose the cover design, editor, and release date. My success depends on me. (less)

Quotes by Marysue G. Hobika  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“I didn’t think while I drew. The pencil flew across the page making marks, almost as if it had a mind of its own. Often times I didn’t know what it was going to be until it was completed. The cemetery was still with only a few birds calling off in the distance from time to time. When I finished I was not at all surprised by what had taken form on my paper. It was a portrait of my dad. He was sitting behind the tombstone, using it as a desk, his laptop open in front of him. He wore a peaceful smile. I smiled, too, as another tear fell.”
Marysue G. Hobika, Nowhere

“I concentrated on his eyes and his facial expression. Those said a lot about a person. I’d noticed that his eyes changed color based on his mood. Right now they were a true clear green, which meant he was happy. When his eyes turned cloudy with a mix of gray, he was angry. But my favorite shade was clear dark green, the color of his eyes when he’d just kissed me. Eyes only told part of the story. Drawing a portrait could be like looking at a person’s soul, when done right.”

Never Too Old For...: Read 4 Review #33 - Nowhere (Closed) 17 66 May 14, 2013 04:32AM  
“I cannot live without books: but fewer will suffice where amusement, and not use, is the only future object.”
Thomas Jefferson

“Peeta, how come I never know when you're having a nightmare?” I say.

“I don't know. I don't think I cry out or thrash around or anything. I just come to, paralyzed with terror,” he says.

“You should wake me,” I say, thinking about how I can interrupt his sleep two or three times on a bad night. About how long it can take to calm me down.

“It's not necessary. My nightmares are usually about losing you,” he says. “I'm okay once I realize you're here.”
Suzanne Collins, Catching Fire

“She jumped off my bed and shoved my stack of books over; thousands of words crashed onto the floor.”
Maggie Stiefvater, Shiver

“True enough and opposites don't just attract they freaking catch fire and burn the entire city down.”
Jay Crownover

“I think it’s genetically impossible not to be kind of in love with him when you come equipped with a vagina. It’s just something about all that angsty, moody swagger he has that makes you want to cuddle him up and make him feel better.”
Jay Crownover, Rule
