Justine said: " Currently rereading via audiobook

2016 read - 4.5 stars rounded up

""It's easy to be bold in the moment, because all you have is what you can process: see, smell, feel, taste. And that's a very small amount of what is. But afterward, when everything decompresses and uncoils bit by bit, and the horror of what you did and what happened to your friends hits you. It's overwhelming."" — Feb 13, 2016 01:51PM

Justine’s Quotes

“The trouble is that we have a bad habit, encouraged by pedants and sophisticates, of considering happiness as something rather stupid. Only pain is intellectual, only evil interesting. This is the treason of the artist; a refusal to admit the banality of evil and the terrible boredom of pain.”
― Ursula K. LeGuin, The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas

“You have to write the book that wants to be written. And if the book will be too difficult for grown-ups, then you write it for children.”
