1 " You can not be the judge of another's wishes. If you love someone, you must believe that they know what is best for themselves. "
― Katherine Marsh , Jepp, Who Defied the Stars
2 " I was told that there was nothing for me but to come here. But, as with life itself, it may not be our choice to come, but it is our choice to leave. "
3 " It is possible to reclaim your future, to build a happy life despite an imperfect past. We can order the universe to our will and mind. "
― Katherine Marsh
4 " Is not our capacity to choose, to chase, to dream of becoming other than we are, more powerful then the patterns of the stars? "
5 " One of the graces of this world is that there is always some opportunity to show through our actions-be they ever so small or humble-who we are and what we truly believe. "
6 " There is no mile as long the final one that leads back home. "
7 " I had never been the receptacle of someone's hope, and found this weightless thing to be a heavy burden. "
8 " We are nothing if not our hopes and dreams "
9 " There are some men, Jepp, whose lives are like this-- a single volume. Their story is seamless, without fissures or breaks. They live but one life. Then there are others, like you and me, whose lives are a series of volumes. Their stories stop and must be started up again. They must accept this is so, and put one book away on the shelf in order to start another. "
10 " I gently touch the stars, wondering if they hold my fate or whether holding them, as I do now, allows me to create my own. "
11 " To be loved is the birthright of every mewling babe, but, once grown, a man is not assured of such affection. "
12 " Even in the darkest times and places there were always good people. People who would help others out of the kindness of their hearts. "
― Katherine Marsh , Nowhere Boy
13 " Why did you teach me to love, then leave me when my heart became attached to you. "
14 " I think I know a place we can go where they know about unnatural things. "
― Katherine Marsh , The Night Tourist (Jack Perdu, #1)
15 " Do you think the heart does not heal and change? "
16 " To love is to value the happiness of another as much as your own, and I love Magdalene more dearly than anyone on this earth. "
17 " Even in paradise, the world beckons. "
18 " I am not a curiosity or a clown. I am a boy with an agile mind and aspirations to use it. We are nothing if not our hopes and dreams. "
19 " Like two planets, we are conjunct for a moment, then spin away. I feel the longing the spheres must feel as they forever pass in the heavens. "
20 " It occurs to me that cities are like life itself- continual in a comforting way but also, in a more terrifying way, indifferent. "
