Morning Swooners, 

Christmas shopping has me like Merida... The closer we get to Christmas the more stressed I feel about the holidays. So in the midst of procrastinating on my Christmas shopping I have spent the weekend reading This Shattered World and I am loving it! So today's quotes are some of my favorites from this story... on to our quotes!

“Letting yourself get hurt isn’t brave, love. Brave is protecting others from hurt.”
~Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner, This Shattered World

“You’ve ruined me,” she repeats, her voice quieting a little as it catches. “You’ve ruined me—you made me wake up. And now I can’t get rid of you.” Her voice surges again as I reach out, curling my hand around her arm, her skin flushed hot under my fingers. “You won’t leave me alone.”
~Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner, This Shattered World

“Life is pain. We are all in pain, all the time".
"There are other things this universe has to offer," says the creature, "Light; live; touch; sensation. The way you are all made of the same pieces; the same fragments of stardust and yet you are all so different.”
~Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner, This Shattered World

“You think I want to be here with you?" I reply, my voice hoarse. "You think if you walked out right now, I'd chase you?"
She gazes back at me, her eyes a challenge. "Wouldn't you?"
"You know I would," I snap, surrendering. "And I have no idea why that's such a problem."
She jerks her arm free and backs up a step until she hits the door. "It's a problem because I'd let you!" she blurts. Then, after a harsh breath, she murmurs, "It's a problem because I'd want you to.”
~Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner, This Shattered World

“The last thing I need added to my list of credentials is ‘stabbed by a mattress,’ in addition to a cocktail skewer”
~Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner, This Shattered World

“You don’t understand the unbearable beauty of being you.”
~Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner, This Shattered World

“He can’t take his eyes off the stars, but I can’t take mine off his face.”
~Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner, This Shattered World
