"There's an enchanting minimalism to the prose, so the cause of the plane crash, the location of the island and the reality or veracity of all other details is suspended. Scenes are maximized by a limited and authentic perspective. The story begins after some major events have already occurred, dropping the reader right in the middle of the action. Expository information is built into the narrative, wasting no time." 4 hours, 8 min ago

“That's how you know you love someone, I guess, when you can't experience anything without wishing the other person were there to see it, too.”
Kaui Hart Hemmings, The Descendants

Stephen Chbosky
“I walked over to the hill where we used to go and sled. There were a lot of little kids there. I watched them flying. Doing jumps and having races. And I thought that all those little kids are going to grow up someday. And all of those little kids are going to do the things that we do. And they will all kiss someone someday. But for now, sledding is enough. I think it would be great if sledding were always enough, but it isn't.”
Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Albert Camus
“Don’t walk in front of me… I may not follow
Don’t walk behind me… I may not lead
Walk beside me… just be my friend”
Albert Camus

Frank Herbert
“Government cannot be religious and self-assertive at the same time. Religious experience needs a spontaneity which laws inevitably suppress. And you cannot govern without laws. Your laws eventually must replace morality, replace conscience, replace even the religion by which you think to govern. Sacred ritual must spring from praise and holy yearnings which hammer out a significant morality. Government, on the other hand, is a cultural organism particularly attractive to doubts, questions and contentions. I see the day coming when ceremony must take the place of faith and symbolism replaces morality.”
Frank Herbert, Dune Messiah

Oscar Wilde
“Selfishness is not living as one wishes to live, it is asking others to live as one wishes to live.”
Oscar Wilde
