“The man that I named The Giver passed along to the boy knowledge, history, memories, color, pain, laughter, love, and truth. Every time you place a book in the hands of a child, you do the same thing. It is very risky. But each time a child opens a book, he pushes open the gate that separates him from Elsewhere. It gives him choices. It gives him freedom. Those are magnificent, wonderfully unsafe things.”
― Lois Lowry, The Giver

“Because God knows, if He ever took Celia from me, I'd burn the world down around us all”
― J.M. Darhower, Made

“The sunlight claps the earth, and the moonbeams kiss the sea: what are all these kissings worth, if thou kiss not me?”
― Percy Bysshe Shelley

“You know, nerd is the new black. I read that in Cosmo.”
― Megan Erickson, Make it Count
