The first time I saw you, at the Governor, I handn't been to watch the birds at the border in years. But that's what you reminded me of.

This was what true fear was--that you could never know other people, not completely. That you were always just guessing blind.
Lauren Oliver
Image
That's when you realize that most of it-life, the relentless mechanism of existing-isn't about you. It doesn't include you at all. It will thrust onward even after you've jumped the edge. Even after you're dead.

This is not the person I wanted to become: Hatred has carved a permanent place inside me, a hollow where things are so easily lost.
Lauren Oliver
