Book Hideaway

"The irony of life is that those who wear masks often tell us more truths than those with open faces." "Sometimes, love can bloom like the tiny flower hidden in the tree's shadow, found only by those who know where to look." "They waged war for decades, never realizing that they were fighting for the same cause." "He wanted to live in a house built on a delusion, would rather believe in a million lies than face one truth." "It is better to have an enemy who will fight you in a open field than a lover who will kill you in your sleep." "'Now, are you happy? Have you finally achieved all you set out to do? What will you do next, little assassin, with no one left to see you?" "Such blinding dreams of white ice and spinning dice, I watched them all vanish in a trice. What will be your sacrifice?"

" They think they can keep me out, but it does not matter how many locks they hang at the entrance. There is always another door."  "It is pointless to believe what you see, if you only see what you believe." " Once upon a winter I met a man in the woods  The man beckoned me over To see a satchel of goods He offered three wishes I asked for beauty, love, riches And he froze me in stone where I stood." "To love is to be afraid. You are frightened, deathly terrified, that something will happen to those you love. Think of the possibilities. Does your heart clench with each thought? That, my friend, is love. And love enslaves us all, for you cannot have love without fear." "Trust is when we plummet into the depths of an abyss and reach out for each other's hands." There are four places where the spirits still wander. . . the snow-covered Dark of Night, the forgotten paradise of Sabri Elan, the G...

        I have read a lot of reviews about the movie adaption of this book. Unfortunately, they're not very positive, and, although, I have not seen the movie, I'm sure Hollywood did a magnificent job of butchering this beautiful story. If you have also read these reviews, please, don't let them deter you from reading this book, because I can assure you that this book is great(and probably much better than the movie.)       So, when I started reading this book I didn't like it. I'm sorry. I know, it's terrible. This fact really bummed me out, but now that I look back I actually like it better that way. I thought that Stella was really annoying at first because she was all about organization and control. Everything had to be exactly right, and her and her friends were really girly and giggly and obnoxious. And on top of all of that she has a YouTube channel for empowering all of those with cystic fibrosis (whoop-te-do.)    ...

     "Our best defense is distance. Six feet is the golden rule," she says, before bending over to pick up a pool cue from next to her bed. " This is five feet. Five. Feet." . . .       She holds up the pool cue defiantly, fighting for every one of us. " I'm stealing three hundred and four point eight millimeters. Twelve whole inches. One freaking foot of space, distance, length" . . .       "Cystic fibrosis will steal no more from me. From now on. I am the thief." If I'm going to die, I'd like to actually live first. - Will To be fair, though, anything can be optional if you're creative enough. - Will "Okay, okay. I'd like to travel the world and really get to see it, you know? Not just the inside of hospitals." He looks back down and keeps sketching. "They're kind of all the same. Same generic rooms. Same tile floors. Same sterile smell. I've been everywhere without actually seeing...
