R.J. Anderson QUOTES

1 " I realized then that even though I was a tiny speck in an infinite cosmos, a blip on the timeline of eternity, I was not without purpose. "

3 " I heard the universe as an oratorio sung by a master choir of stars, accompanied by the orchestra of the planets and the percussion of satellites and moons. The aria they performed was a song to break the heart, full of tragic dissonance and deferred hope, and yet somewhere beneath it all was a piercing refrain of glory, glory, glory. And I sensed that not only the grand movements of the cosmos, but everything that had happened in my life, was a part of that song. Even the hurts that seemed most senseless, the mistakes I would have done anything to erase--nothing could make those things good, but good could still come out of them all the same, and in the end the oratorio would be no less beautiful for it.

10 " I do not desire evil, Garan had said to her once, but it seems to me that to stand idle while evil is being done is no virtue either. "

11 " I'm just a little cold," said Knife, pulling the blanket closer about her shoulders.

And that is everything to me. "

16 " This is fantastically squalid," said Milo. "We may never get out of here alive. "

― R.J. Anderson , Quicksilver (Ultraviolet, #2)

17 " I realized then that even though I was a tiny speck in an infinite cosmos, a blip on the timeline of eternity, I was not without purpose. And as long as I had a part in the music of the spheres, even if it was only a single grace note, I was not worthless. Nor was I alone. "

― R.J. Anderson , Ultraviolet (Ultraviolet, #1)

18 " Eryx didn’t turn to watch her go. His gaze was on Esmond, dark with reproach. “This is unacceptable. Apologize to our guests at once.”

“Why?” asked Esmond. “I haven’t said a thing that isn’t true. And it would be a shame to stop before the exciting bit.” He straightened up to his full height. “There’s a kidnapper, an extortioner, and at least two murderers in this room, and I’m not leaving until everyone knows who they are. "

― R.J. Anderson , A Little Taste of Poison (Uncommon Magic, #2)

19 " I'd hoped at least one of my parents had seen Milo and me standing close together on the sidewalk, still holding hands, as I gazed dreamily up at him and told him that I was going to ship all the bigger transceiver parts to his house. He'd told me OK, but not to overdo it, and could I please get that dopey look off my face before he threw up? So it had been a very special moment, and I was sorry to think that it had been wasted on just the two of us. "
