Ruta Sepetys
“Shelves without books were lonely and just plain wrong.”
Ruta Sepetys, Out of the Easy

Ruta Sepetys
“Tadas was sent to the principal today," announced Jonas at dinner. He wedged a huge piece of sausage into his small mouth.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because he talked about hell," sputtered Jonas, juice from the plump sausage dribbling down his chin.

"Jonas, don't speak with your mouth full. Take smaller pieces," scolded Mother.

"Sorry," said Jonas with his moth stuffed. "It's good." He finished chewing. I took a bite of sausage. It was warm and the skin was deliciously salty.

"Tadas told one of the girls that hell is the worst place ever and there's no escape for all eternity."

"Now why would Tadas be talking of hell?" asked Papa, reaching for the vegetables.

"Because his father told him that if Stalin comes to Lithuania, we'll all end up there.”
Ruta Sepetys, Between Shades of Gray

Ruta Sepetys
“My husband, Andrius, says that evil will rule until good men or women choose to act. I believe him. This testimony was written to create an absolute record, to speak in a world where our voices have been extinguished. These writing may shock or horrify you, but that is not my intention. It is my greatest hope that the pages in this jar stir your deepest well of human compassion. I hope they prompt you to do something, to tell somone. Only then can we ensure that this kind of evil is never allowed to repeat itself.”
Ruta Sepetys, Between Shades of Gray

“A wrongdoing doesn't give us the right to do wrong.”
Ruta Sepetys, Between Shades of Gray

Ruta Sepetys
“Silence has a voice of its own.”
Ruta Sepetys, The Fountains of Silence
