Quote by Margaux Froley

“I just like the idea of looking back at my life and feeling like I made different choices than everyone else, you know? Most people are inherently boring if you really dig deep. They don't want much, they don't veer from their chosen path, and they're generally scared of change. I don't know, at least that's how my grandfather tells it. I don't want to be like fifty and realize that I was one of those people who didn't bother to think outside the box.”

Is it certain that God has not caused us to choose to approach him? Can we set a limit to God's power? Can we tell how far it extends and just where it ends? Are we outside his control?”

But she had known something all along that I hadn't: that being ashamed of what you want or how you feel is pointless, and letting anyone else make you feel ashamed is a waste. We all wanted different things, and that was okay. Chloe wanted sex without commitment. Mary wanted to wait until she was ready. And I wasn't sure what I wanted, but I didn't want to make any decisions until I knew. And I was proud of that.”

“Да. Мы испрашиваем знамения у Богов и готовы роптать, если нам кажется, будто Небо медлит с ответом. А когда Боги глаголят ясно и внятно, мы опять недовольны. Ибо толкование, которое любезно нашей душе, далеко не всегда совпадает с тем, что в действительности готовит завтрашний день”
