“the purpose of evil was to survive it”

ok nvm this is good

“the oldest and most devastating pain there is: not the pain of childhood, but the remembrance of it”

how does she write like this

“Now there seemed to be some kind of wet light traveling over his legs and stomach with a deeply attractive smell. It wound itself—this wet light—all about him, splashing and running into his skin...

Everything is going to be all right, it said. Knowing that it was so he closed his eyes and sank back into the bright hole of sleep.”

I feel the need to reread already

"She got out of bed and lit the lamp to look in the mirror. There was her face, plain brown eyes, three braids and the nose her mother hated. She looked for a long time and suddenly a shiver ran through her.
'I'm me,' she whispered. 'Me.'"

pretty repetitive of book 1 so far, let’s get a move on

ok this is charming me so far. I’m charmed

this is p messed up

now why did she do that

“She did not experience the world as most people did. To her, the world was not a china closet where you admire this and don't touch that. Rather, she saw it as a place where every act of living was a chance for tikkun olam, to improve the world.”
…
“And the absence of her meant a thousand tomorrows empty of whatever promise they had once held.”
