“In order for me to live life to the fullest is to not enjoy every minute. Enjoying every minute takes meaning out of them. In order to truly appreciate the joyous moments in life, we must embrace the painful ones and keep them in memory.”

“I try to count the stars, turning fuzzy as mist rolls off the mountain behind me. I would have made a wish but there's...nothing. I think of the future, of anything I could hope or dream or wish for, and all I see is black emptiness. Stretching out forever. p.266”

“Great heroes need great sorrows and burdens, or half their greatness goes unnoticed. It is all part of the fairy tale.”

“All stories are about wolves. All worth repeating, that is. Anything else is sentimental drivel.
All of them?
Sure, he says. Think about it. There's escaping from the wolves, fighting the wolves, capturing the wolves, taming the wolves. Being thrown to the wolves, or throwing others to the wolves so the wolves will eat them instead of you. Running with the wolf pack. Turning into a wolf. Best of all, turning into the head wolf. No other decent stories exist.”

Happy reading!

Thanks for accepting my friend request, C.J. You seem like an interesting person, as well as quite the prolific author, so feel free to tell me more about yourself. I, myself, am a singer/songwriter/actor who has recently turned author. My 2 top ten recordings were CONCRETE & CLAY (as a singer) and NAVY BLUE (as a writer)...both in the early 1960's. My first novel is an unusual murder mystery entitled: FORBIDDEN STEPS.Regards, and have a great day, Ed

Thanks, Kaliki! I was reading your comments on ROOM and they so exactly mirrored my own, I thought we might have similar tastes.
Loved hearing everything Emma had to say (hard to comment since I'm also an author who has tackled those subjects, never want to steal the spotlight, you know?)
Happy reading!
CJ

Great 'meeting' you, CJ! Greetings from the Caribbean!Looking forward to your reviews and recommendations.
Hi CJ and thanks for the add! It's good to connect with you here, too. I'm pretty sure we're on MySpace if not a couple more. But that's what friendship is all about, right?I wish you and yours a bountiful Thanksgiving.
Blessings,
Jeannie
