Quote by Jennifer Donnelly

“Lucanos nodded [...] 'She's the girl who sees with her heart.' Aranae rolled all eight of her eyes. She chittered again, in a scolding tone this time. When she finished, she crossed two of her legs and gave Belle a dirty look. Belle shrank under her disapproving glare, 'What did she say?' she asked timidly. 'She said your heart needs glasses.”

“You have never loved. That means your mind and your heart were preoccupied with other things, never awakening love within. You only create apparitions and give them pretty names. Your whole life until now you’ve been chasing apparitions, naming apparitions, interpreting apparitions, passing on and imposing apparitions. You have been too busy with them to ever love anyone or anything.” She paused once again, providing an air. “Merkaba, breathe… and understand. The complete absence of love is unforgivable.”

“It was not the thought that I was so unloved that froze me. I had taught myself to do without love. It was not the thought that God was cruel that froze me. I had taught myself never to expect anything from Him. What froze me was the fact that I had absolutely no reason to move in any direction. What had made me move through so many dead and pointless years was curiosity. Now even that had flickered out. How long I stood frozen there, I cannot say. If I was ever going to move again, someone else was going to have to furnish the reason for moving. Somebody did. A policeman watched me for a while, and then he came over to me, and he said, "You alright?" Yes," I said. You've been standing here a long time," he said. I know," I said. You waiting for somebody?" he said. No," I said. Better move on, don't you think?" he said. Yes, sir," I said. And I moved on.”
