Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys

Have you ever wondered what a human life is worth? That morning, my brother’s was worth a pocket watch.

"She thought it must be a lonely life for a boy who hated books."
Hilda van Stockum, The Borrowed House (via prettybooks)
"No, I don’t think you’re gonna be single forever, and also I don’t understand your obsession with romantic love. There are other ways to have fulfilling relationships that can sustain you and make your life great and fun, other than having a sexualized relationship. It’s not the only kind of fulfilling human interaction. So, even if you are single forever that doesn’t mean that you’ve had some kind of failed life."
John Green (x)
"You may not agree with a woman, but to criticize her appearance — as opposed to her ideas or actions — isn’t doing anyone any favors, least of all you. Insulting a woman’s looks when they have nothing to do with the issue at hand implies a lack of comprehension on your part, an inability to engage in high-level thinking. You may think she’s ugly, but everyone else thinks you’re an idiot."
Hillary Clinton (via unhappie)

"I fall in love once in a blue moon and it’s really incredibly rare. That’s not to say I don’t see lots of cute boys who I fancy. But the boy you want to make out with is not necessarily someone you want to be with. If it’s meant to be, it will be. I wouldn’t be capable of having a casual fling. I’m far too sensitive and I just wouldn’t have any pleasure from it."
Liv Tyler  (via frostglow)
