Quote of the Day – October 31, 2013

• "My mother wasn't a fool," I say. "She just understood something you didn't. That it's not sacrifice it it's someone else's life you're giving away, it's just evil."
I take another step and say, "She taught me all about real sacrifice. That it should be done from love, not misplaced disgust for another person's genetics. That it should be done from necessity, not without exhausting all other options. That it should be one for people who need your strength because they don't have enough of their own."

– Tris, Allegiant by Veronica Roth

I just finished Allegiant, and I have so many mixed feelings about it. I love it and hate it at the same time! Just wait for my review…

Anyway, happy Halloween, everyone!!

Quote of the Day – October 29, 2013

 “You know, sometimes I wonder what things would be like if I just ... met you one day. Like normal people do. If I just walked by you on some street one sunny morning and thought you were cute, stopped, shook your hand, and said, "Hi, I'm Daniel.” 

- Day, Prodigy written by Marie Lu

So, tired like every other normal day. Gonna go sleep soon, bye!

Somaya's Quote of the Day: October 28, 2013

“I wanted to tell the book thief many things, about beauty and brutality. But what could I tell her about those things that she didn't already know? I wanted to explain that I am constantly overestimating and underestimating the human race-that rarely do I ever simply estimate it. I wanted to ask her how the same thing could be so ugly and so glorious, and its words and stories so damning and brilliant.” 
― Markus Zusak, The Book Thief
