1 " Be a sparrow, I told myself. Be silent and fly away. No one will bother you if you disappear. "
― Laura Whitcomb , Under the Light (Light, #2)
2 " As I watched that single thread of lightning billow through the water above me like the aurora borealis, I imagined the heavy cord of time stretching away from me in the water like the hard, thick rope on a great ship. "
3 " Time is a ribbon, a delicate organdy, so thin that you can see through it to the layer of time below and the layer above. Moments overlapping, lying on top of each other. "
4 " The fear of being noticed after a hundred years disappears as I look into a pair of autumn-colored eyes. "
5 " I was floating on a river of calm, a leaf on a current. "
6 " Perhaps it wasn't that time had frozen but that it was now moving at the pace of infinity. A moment now becomes a century. "
7 " The material was wrinkled, yet even in the low light it remembered the shape of two bodies. "
