| LOVED the book. Read it in two days! I really enjoy a multiple POV story and the characters chosen to move this story along were perfect. Stroud bought each character to life with their own background and nuances, but kept the heart of the matter (pr ...more | |

“. . . besides love, independence of thought is the greatest gift an adult can give a child.”
― The Power of One
― The Power of One
“Whatever you do in life will be insignificant. but it is very important that you do it because, You can't know; You can't ever really know the meaning of your life, and you don't need to. Just know that your life has a meaning. Every life has a meaning; whether it lasts one-hundred years or one-hundred seconds.Every life and every death changes the world in its own way. Gandhi knew this. He knew his life would mean something to someone, somewhere, somehow. And he knew with as much certainty that he could never know that meaning. He understood that enjoying life should be of much greater concern than understanding it. And so do I. You can't know. So don't take it for granted; but don't take it too seriously. Don't postpone what you want. Don't leave anything misunderstood. Make sure the people you care about know. Make sure they know how you really feel. Because just like that it could end.”
