"So bizarre in how it's both wise and juvenile. I feel like I'm nodding in total agreement of what young Noah says most of the time about the world, and then I'm totally confused/alarmed/repulsed when he acts out against Jude. Then again, it is a book centred around sibling rivalry ... Particularly of the twin sort ..." Mar 30, 2017 06:12AM

Jaclyn Moriarty
“Sure and you've got to keep your own spitis up, for there's no one else will do that for you!”
Jaclyn Moriarty, The Ghosts of Ashbury High

Kenneth Oppel
“None of us gets to choose how we're born, it's what we make of ourselves afterwards.”
Kenneth Oppel, Skybreaker

Elizabeth Hay
“Oh Harry," [Gwen] said. "I wish I were a different kind of person."

What kind of person, he wanted to know.

"Someone," she said slowly, "who truly loves life."

He was still looking at her, still cradling his glasses in his left hand. He said, "You're the kind of person who never stops trying.”
Elizabeth Hay, Late Nights on Air

Tom Stoppard
“GUIL (quietly): Where we went wrong was getting on a boat. We can move, of course, change direction, rattle about, but our movement is contained within a larger one that carries us along as inexorably as the wind and current…”
Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead

Blue Balliett
“Picasso said that art is a lie, but a lie that tells the truth" ... Calder wondered what Picasso had meant. Was it that art wasn't exactly the real world, but it said something real?”
Blue Balliett, Chasing Vermeer
