Quote by Alexandra Bracken

“Chubs didn’t have to finish. I knew what I’d been when I’d found them: a terrified splinter of a girl who had been shattered a long time ago. I had nothing, and no one, and no real place to go. Maybe I was still broken and would always be—but now, at least, I was piecing myself back together, lining up one jagged edge at a time.”

“Cate had told me once, a long time ago, that the only way to survive your past was to find a way to close it off behind you, to shut one door before passing into another, brighter room. I was afraid. That was the truth. I was terrified of the guilt and shame that would come flooding in when I retraced my steps, turned the lock, and found the girl I had abandoned. I didn’t want to know what the darkness there had done to her, if she would even recognize herself in my face.”

“My teacher, Ben Johnston, was convinced that our tuning is responsible for much of our cultural psychology, the fact that we are so geared toward progress and action and violence and so little attuned to introspection, contentment, and acquiescence. Equal temperament could be described as the musical equivalent to eating a lot of red meat and processed sugars and watching violent action films. The music doesn't turn your attention inward, it makes you want to go out and work off your nervous energy on something.”

“Тільки людина здатна брехати. У природі брехні не існує. Хіба брешуть дерева, птахи, вода?.. Можна жити бідно, безтямно, дурнувато, легковажно, важко, але при цьому жити чесно - необхідно. Інакше - морок, ніч, смерть... Найстрашніше - втратити віру. Її гублять раз - і назавжди... А потім шукають. І знаходять виправдання собі. Роблять вигляд, що все гаразд, і посміхаються. Але голка в серці залишається. З нею можна якось жити. Але хіба це життя?”
