Quote by Richelle E. Goodrich

“When a person reaches the end of a book and says, 'I want to read that again,' what he's actually saying is that he wants to mentally merge with his favorite character and stroll among all the other creative personalities, feeding a hungry imagination through the vicarious reliving of each and every wild chapter that stirred his emotions, the whole while surrendering to a safe yet daring existence where any crazy, hopeful thing can and does happen. That's all.”

“We fell into a silence as if there were no words to say what we had to say. I knew he wanted to say he was sorry. And I wanted to say that I was sorry too. But it was so unnecessary to acknowledge the hurt because the hurt was gone now. And it was unnecessary to say 'I love you' at that moment because sometimes it felt cheap to say such an obvious thing - so it was better to keep the silence because it was so rare and so sacred. I felt him take my hand in his, a hand that held all the secrets of the universe...”

“How did I think people ruled the world? Did I really imagine it would be so simple? That I might control the fabric of society from the comfort of my boyfriend's bedroom? I'm only now beginning to understand the breath of this delicate, intricately developed spiderweb of people, positions, and power already in place. I said I was up for the task. Me, a seventeen-year-old nobocy with very little life experience; I volunteered for this position. And now-- basically overnight-- I have to keep up. And I have no idea what I'm doing. But if I don't learn how to manage these many relationships? If I don't at least pretend to have even the slightest idea of how I'm going to rule? The rest of the world could so easily destroy me. And sometimes I'm not sure I'll make it out of this alive.”

“The young man wandered around for quite some time, thinking, planning, and figuring out exactly how to make the world his. Then one day, out of nowhere, it struck him - the perfect plan. He'd seen a mother walking with her child. At one point, she admonished the small boy, until finally, he began to cry. Within a few minutes, she spoke softly to him, after which he was soothed and even smiled. The young man rushed to the woman and embraced her. "Words!" He grinned. "What?" But there was no reply. He was already gone. Yes, the Fuhrer decided that he would rule the world with words.”

“Suddenly, power filled me. I swear I’d never felt so happy and overwhelmed with pure bliss in my entire life. I didn’t feel tired at all. I felt like I could run forever. Like I could fly, or lift one thousand pounds. Like I could rule the world... I jerked back, tearing my gaze away from the Didot and stumbling into Jayden’s arms. “Ms. Embers?” Mr. Bradshaw’s eyebrows made a ‘v.’ “Is something wrong?” “It -- it was amazing, but...” “But what? Don’t you like it?” “I don’t want to rule the world.” Mr. Bradshaw smiled at me and shook his head. “You’ll never stop impressing me, Tess.”
