Quote by Marie Lu

“Orang selalu berharap kau melanjutkan hidup secepatnya setelah mengalami kehilangan. Selama beberapa bulan pertama, simpati mencurahimu. Kemudian, pelan-pelan, berkurang, dan suatu hari kau mendapati dirimu sendiri berdiri sendirian di makam, bertanya-tanya kenapa orang lain sudah beralih memedulikan sesuatu yang lain sementara kau masih tetap di sini, tanpa suara masih membawa kesedihan yang sama. Orang jadi bosan dengan dukacitamu. Mereka menginginkan topik baru untuk dibicarakan. Jadi, kau berhenti mengungkitnya karena tidak mau membuat bosan siapa pun.”

“I call it the Margarita Road. It's the course your heart sets when you want to leave the past behind and start over someplace new and warm. Usually the path heads south to blue water and white sand, with any bumps along the way smoothed over by rum and tequila. It's not for everyone. This is a highway traveled mostly by runaways and drifters. I know, becuase I'm one of them.”

“The desire of each person is to discover a balance between our mortal existence and the divinity within the presence of our being. This is often referred to as universal consciousness or oneness.”

“As I got to know my new neighbors, I found saints and sinners of every degree of good, bad, and strange. These aging adolescents thought of themselves as Peter Pan’s lost children, and the beach was their Neverland. Having run away from home, they now were refusing to grow up.”

“Life down here is kind of a permanent Halloween where you choose a costume more fitting for your self-image than reality could ever offer. Do you want to be a captain or a cowboy? No problem. People will call you by whatever title or name you choose. You say you’re a reincarnated pirate queen or the abandoned love child of a famous entertainer? That’s fine with me. We believe each other’s stories about who we were and who we are. Being an expat means you can have a whole new life. It’s a little like being in the Witness Relocation Program only with flip flops and margaritas.”
