Lucy Christopher Quotes - Page 2

• I wrapped my arms around me as tightly as I could, and stared up at the stars. Had I not been so cold and wanting to escape so badly, I could have stared at them forever: They were amazingly beautiful, so dense and bright. My eyes could get lost up there if I left them looking long enough. [...] They swallowed me up. They were like a hundred thousand tiny candles, sending out hope.

• Who says I'm not Superman?" You were looking at me with one eye closed against the sun. I shrugged "You would have recued me by now if you were Superman." I said quietly. "Who says I haven't? " Anyone would say you haven't. Anyone's just looking at it wrong then." You pushed yourself up a little, onto your elbows."Anyways, I can't steal you and rescue you. That would give me multiple personalities." And you don't have them already?

• It was so big, that view. I’ll never remember it properly. How can anyone remember something that big? I don’t think people’s brains are designed for memories like that. They’re designed for things like phone numbers, or the color of someone’s hair. Not hugeness.

• Una vez me hablaste de las plantas que permanecen latentes durante la sequía, que esperan, medio muertas, en lo profundo de la tierra. Las plantas que esperan la lluvia. Dijiste que esperarían durante años, si fuera necesario; que casi se matarían antes de volver a crecer. Pero en cuanto caen las primeras gotas de agua, esas plantas empiezan a estirarse y a extender sus raíces. Suben por el suelo y la arena hasta llegar a la superficie. Hay una oportunidad para ellas de nuevo.

• Cuando escribo esto en la cama, casi puedo oír el eco del viento sobre la arena, o los gemidos de los paneles de madera a mi alrededor. Casi puedo oler el polvo del camello, saborear la amargura del arbusto salado. Y cuando sueño, tus cálidas manos cubren mis hombros. Tus susurros cuentan historias y suenan como el susurro de las espinacas. Aún llevo ese anillo, sabes... por la noche, cuando nadie me mira.
