Quotes from "My Sister's Keeper"
"Why are terms of endearment always foods? Honey, cookie, sugar, pumpkin. It's not like caring about someone is enough to actually sustain you."
"Darkness, you know, is relative."
"Goldfish get big enough only for the bowl you put them in. Bonsai trees twist in miniature. I would have given anything to keep her little. They outgrow us so much faster than we outgrow them."
"Fire and hope are connected, just so you know."
"You can stay up all night and still not count all the ways to lose the people you love."
"You head to the place where all those different positions cross, and you hope for the best."
"The moon grew hungry, thinner and thinner, until she was just a slice of herself, and her tips were as sharp as a knife. By accident, she poked a hole in the night and out spilled a million stars, like a fountain of tears."
"... and told me in the darkest crease of the night, that she would love me until the moon lost it's footing in the sky."
"So maybe there is a place in your life you wear out like a rut, or even better, like a soft spot on the couch. And no matter what else happens to you, you come back to that."
"Kids think with their brains cracked wide open; becoming an adult, I've decided, is only a slow sewing shut."
"The people you love can surprise you every day. That maybe who we are isn't so much about what we do, but rather what we're capable of when we least expect it. "
From "Dante's Inferno"
"E lascia pur grattar dov e la rogna!"
"And let them go ahead and scratch where it itches!"
