Generation Manifestation (1) Quotes

“A lot of people think love is that wild feeling they get in their belly when they see or think about or touch that other person. At least that’s how they’ve described it. I wouldn’t know. But I do know that isn’t love. That’s infatuation. This is love. When things get hard and ugly and the one you love stumbles under the weight, and you take it on yourself so that other person can keep going. My love for you has deepened over many different lifetimes. You have no idea the adventures we have shared. The revolutions we have fought. The dark times you have seen me through. My love for you is not the romantic kind. It runs so much deeper than that. You saved me from myself. Now I will do the same for you.”

“Normand. I can't stop thinking about Bradie and the danger he's in" I say.

"You said he'd be different!" I say.
"He's been taken by agents. Of course that will alter him, he says.
"He'll be broken," I realize out loud.
"Broken things can often be fixed," Normand says.

“He starts walking again toward the school. Part of me wants to ask more but for once I keep my mouth shut. There's safety in silence. Say nothing and you can't say anything wrong.”

“She nods in relief and gives me an awkward hug. It's so rare that I just keep my arms at my side. The important thing is she believes me. If she knew what I was really thinking, it would just make her worry. Saying the right thing is a new skill I'm starting to develop because, growing up, we were told to always tell the truth. It's only recently that I've come to realize that is a lie. People don't want the truth. They want to hear what they want to hear. And sometimes the truth can be dangerous.”
