“Our time together feels like a storm, like wild wind and rain, like something too big to handle but too powerful to escape. It blows around me and tangles my hair, leaves water on my face, makes me know that I am alive, alive, alive. There are moments of calm and pause as there are in every storm, and moments when our words fork lightning, at least for each other.”
― Ally Condie, Matched

“I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end.”
― Gilda Radner

“Newrose, oldrose, Queen Anne’s lace.
Water, river, stone, and sun.
 
Wind over hill, under tree.
Past the border none can see.
 
Climbing into dark for you
Will you wait in stars for me?”
― Ally Condie

“It is better, I think, to grab at the stars than to sit flustered because you know you cannot reach them.”
― R.A. Salvatore, Sojourn
