Shiver
(novel)
-by Maggie Stiefvater
- "The day I nearly talked to Grace was the hottest day of my life."
- It's rude to stare, but the great thing about staring a sedated person is that they don't know you are doing it.
- "You're beautiful and sad," I said finally, not looking at him when I did. "Just like your eyes. You're like a song that I heard when I was little kid but forgot I knew until I heard it again."
- For a long moment there was only the whirring sound of the tires on the road, and then Sam said softly, "Thank you."
- poem-
escaping its grip,
stripped of my wit,
it hurts to be me.
- poem-
crashing into the trembling void
stretching my hand to you
losing myself to frigid regret
is this fragile love
a way
too say
goodbye
- poem-
And leaving you (there aren't words to untangle it)
Your life, fearful and immense and blossoming,
so that, sometimes frustrated, and sometimes
understanding,
Your life is sometimes a stone in you, and then, a star.
-by Rainer Maria Rilke
- And then I opened my eyes and it was just Grace and me- nothing anywhere but Grace and me- she pressing her lips together as though she was keeping my kiss inside her, and me pulling this moment that was as fragile as a bird in my hands.
