Quotes

  • Sofia Moncadahas quoted8 years ago
    they are giving us pieces of a real life instead of the whole thing.
    And I’ll tell her that I don’t want my life to be samples and scraps. A taste of everything but a meal of nothing.
    They have perfected the art of giving us just enough freedom; just enough that when we are ready to snap, a little bone is offered and we roll over,
    belly up, comfortable and placated like a dog

    It is one thing to make a choice and it is another thing to never have the chance
  • Sofia Moncadahas quoted8 years ago
    “Any other questions?”
    “Just one,” I say. “What color are your eyes?” I want to know what he thinks, how he sees himself—the real Ky—when he dares to look.
    “Blue,” he says, sounding surprised. “They’ve always been blue.”
    “Not to me.”
    “What do they look like to you?” he says, puzzled, amused. Not looking at my mouth anymore, looking into my eyes.
    “Lots of colors,” I say. “At first, I thought they were brown. Once I thought they were green, and another time gray. They are most often blue,
    though.”
    “What are they now?” he asks. He widens his eyes a little, leans closer, lets me look as long and as deep as I want.
    And there’s so much to see. They are blue, and black, and other colors, too, and I know some of what they’ve seen and what I hope they see now.
    Me. Cassia. What I feel, who I am.
    “Well?” Ky asks.
    “Everything,” I tell him. “They’re everything.”
