Friday's Finest (04)


Friday's Finest is a new meme hosted by Steff & Justine from A Bookful of Thoughts.

Rules:

~Post a quote that really stuck to you after reading it in a book.
~Make sure it isn't a spoiler!
~If you'd like, expand on what you think it means and why you chose it.


I have a sudden glimpse of all the Christmases of my life lined up one after another, waiting to be gotten through, and despair floods me. No. I wish for a moment that Time would lift me out of this day, and into some more benign one. But then I feel guilty for wanting to avoid the sadness; dead people need us to remember them, even if it eats us, even if all we can do is say I'm sorry until it is as meaningless as air.

The Time Traveler's Wife

This is a good book for quotes like these. It's wonderfully heartbreaking.

  3. I really want to watch the movie, but my parents won't let me. They're uncomfortable with me watching "romance" :D

    The quote is so beautiful, I feel tears pricking in my eyes! Thanks for posting :)

  6. I read this book a while ago so I don't quite remember what part the quote is from. But it's great all the same!
