Friday Favorites #5

This week I'm highlighting my 8 favorite book quotes from this year. Enjoy!

“I want to tell her not to speak, want to say it, but her lips are on mine again and I taste me and I taste her and I don't taste what we're saying and I don't taste Noah. I taste Camus—I owe to such evenings the idea I have of innocence.”

“In my mind I am eloquent; I can climb intricate scaffolds of words to reach the highest cathedral ceilings and paint my thoughts. But when I open my mouth, everything collapses.” 

“My eyes break open. Two shattered windows filling my mouth with glass.”

“Hello and good-bye are not as simple as everyone thinks.” 

“Cushions had been sliced apart and were bleeding stuffing onto the floor.” 

“I'd choked back so many tears, they'd become a lake of sadness in my belly.” 

“The story you choose to tell isn't always the story you believe.”

“Colt has the subtlety of a car alarm.”
