Rysa Walker QUOTES

1 " You cannot hide from your heart, Kate. It always finds you. And, sadly, I cannot hide from mine. "

― Rysa Walker , Timebound (The Chronos Files, #1)

2 " And one day, if I see your smile on her face, maybe that'll keep me from feeling I've left a piece of my heart behind. "

― Rysa Walker , Time's Divide (The Chronos Files, #3)

3 " Even though I can’t hear or see it from this distance, I know that Katherine and my younger self are currently having a brief, nearly silent squabble over who goes through the window first. I’d promised Kate that I’d get her grandmother back to safety, and I took that promise seriously. On the other hand, I was used to getting my bottom whacked if I argued with my elders. And since Katherine’s expression suggested she might just toss me out the window if I didn’t go willingly, I didn’t hesitate long before following her orders. "

― Rysa Walker , Splinter (The Chronos Files)

4 " You’re saying you have spidey sense? Can you also shoot webs out of your wrist to swing from building to building?” He raises an eyebrow. “No, Anna. I cannot. And I really can’t believe I’m taking crap from the girl who speaks to dead people. "

― Rysa Walker , The Delphi Effect (The Delphi Trilogy #1)

5 " Things settled into a lazy pattern. School, chores, and long hours down by the river. Kiernan talked about the books he read sometimes, even loaned me a few. But I liked it better when he read to me or just told me the stories. The words were more real that way, more exciting. Huck Finn, Tom Sawyer, Ragged Dick, and all the others seemed flat and dull on the page, but Kiernan was good at making them come alive. "

6 " But what if it can’t be fixed?” I ask before I even realize I’m going to speak. “Or if I can’t fix it without hurting even more people?” Sister Elba pauses to close the armonica case and then walks toward the steps, stopping a few short feet away from the bench where she will die. “People faced those kinds of decisions every day during the War and after. It’s a hard lesson in life, but you have to accept that some things are out of your hands. Otherwise, you’ll never know a single minute of peace. You mend what you can, and you let the rest go. You just let it go. "

― Rysa Walker , Time's Edge (The Chronos Files, #2)

7 " Amelia hides a soft heart behind a shrew's tongue. "

― Rysa Walker , Time's Echo (The Chronos Files #1.5)

8 " Pru shrugs. “I wasn’t sure how long they’d hold our reservation.” A sly grin spreads over her face. “I thought maybe you and Kiernan were just catching up on old times. Although I guess that might have been awkward with your new guy around.” Mom chokes on her tea and gives me a questioning look. I start to respond, but Trey beats me to it. “Perhaps,” he says in a level voice, staring directly at Pru. “But no more awkward than sitting across the table from the aunt who sneaked into her boyfriend’s bedroom.” Pru’s eyebrows rise gradually, and she does a slow clap, her grin widening. “Ooh, touché! After your rather "

9 " If your faith is so shaky that it can be undermined by books that challenge it, then something is rotten at the core. "

― Rysa Walker , Time's Divide (The Chronos Files, #3)

10 " Waiting politely won’t get you across the street in Boston,” he informs me, “at least not in 1905. There aren’t any of those blinking idiot signs that show a hand and count down the seconds for you. "

― Rysa Walker , Time's Edge (The Chronos Files, #2)

11 " It’s like Niemöller said, if you ignore it when they’re taking rights from everyone else, pretty soon they’ll come after yours, and there’s no one left to protest. "

― Rysa Walker , Time's Edge (The Chronos Files, #2)

12 " He said he doesn' have it. Pick on someone your own size.” You could really hear the Irish in Kiernan's voice back then. I mean, you can still hear it, but it’s more of a lilt when he’s older. Back then, it was a full-on brogue. "

― Rysa Walker , Simon Says: Tips for the Intrepid Time Traveler (The Chronos Files, #3.5)

13 " When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, is the truth. "

― Rysa Walker , Timebound (The Chronos Files, #1)

14 " If you look back through history, most visionaries are one step away from madmen.” I "

17 " His memories of them had faded and… well, I’d known them, so I met with him and we talked. I couldn’t give him the full truth, obviously, but what he really wanted to know was what his parents were like as individuals. I had worked with them for several years and I could give him that—anecdotes, little descriptions of things they had done.” Katherine "

― Rysa Walker , Timebound (The Chronos Files, #1)

18 " Some people feel they’re being oppressed or held back, even if they have everything they need or everything that a reasonable person could want. Some people always want more. "

― Rysa Walker , Time's Edge (The Chronos Files, #2)

19 " It’s like saving up that perfect comeback you read in a book or heard on TV—it always sounds good in your head, but it never quite fits in real life. "

― Rysa Walker , The Delphi Effect (The Delphi Trilogy #1)

20 " Whenever a stray thought about Aaron, Taylor, or their relationship with Molly wanders into view, I push it into the folder near the back wall so that I can quickly shove them away from Dacia’s prying eyes. I visualize that inner wall as an impenetrable fortress, surrounded by a force field, encased in a Cone of Silence, and covered by a Cloak of Invisibility. "
