Quote by Claire North

“We are the seeds of the forest, we blaze so bright, no life is special. No life is special. No life is special and all of them are. No love matters more than any other, no story is more important, nothing matters more, nothing matters less, so choose, choose, we choose every day to be more than just ourselves, to live for more than just ourselves, because it is beautiful. (p. 201)”

Seen some of the most beautiful women from just about ever country on the globe, seen 'em anywhere from totally nude to garbed in the full panoply of state." I couldn't, didn't try to look away from her, from the way the water caught the light and the way the towel both hid and revealed her curves all at once. "Never in my life have I seen anything so beautiful and breathtaking as you, right now, just like that.”

“The music was, as before, a song I didn't know but found familiar, the words in a language I didn't speak but still understood. All of it as colorful as a painting. Cobalt blue. Prussian blue. Venetian red. Emerald green. He was singing a story. A sad one that suddenly became something else and then something else again, the colors changing as the story did, from a radiant magenta to some kind of violet. And then a gold I rarely heard.”
