Quote by Marie Rutkoski

“An emotion clamped down on her heart. It squeezed her into a terrible silence. But he said nothing after that, only her name, as if her name were not a name but a question. Or perhaps that it wasn’t how he had said it, and she was wrong, and she’d heard a question simply because the sound of him speaking her name made her wish that she were his answer.”

“The Eagle Flies I reach in my heart and I find no hatred Yet, there’s no answers right now sunshine turn to darkness oceans away frustrated, all we can do is pray. We imagine the pain of so many still, it doesn’t measure their hurt Dear Lord, we need your love amidst all the buildings burnt. Many miles up in the clouds above the blood soaked land an Eagle flies in the sky trying her best not to cry. As she makes her way to you how can man be so cruel? never taught the golden rule to love we have everything.”

“In fact, there never was even a me or you that suffered all that pain. The pain itself was real, even lethal — but the solid, unchanging self that seemed to feel it was an illusion. What’s more, the lie of that solid ego gave the pain a place to roost, a place to stick and fester and worsen . . . And maybe this is another reason radical disillusionment hurts so terribly: it means acknowledging your own death, or the death of that thing that for years you believed was you, the false self that your life-lies were protecting.”

“No matter what you are going through, the process of Life is beautiful. It may be challenging, painful and, at times, agonizingly slow. Or it may flow freely, generously, bringing you all that you want. But, unfailingly, Life never ceases to amaze or surprise. It is this inscrutable quality of Life that makes the process beautiful. When you accept the process of Life for what it is, for the way it is, unquestioningly, you see its beauty. That’s how you learn to be happy despite the circumstances.”
