“Quiero esperar en silencio la séptima ola. Si, aquí cuentan la historia indómita de la séptima ola. Las primeras seis son previsibles y equilibradas. Se condicionan unas a otras, no deparan sorpresas. Mantienen la continuidad. Pero, !cuidado con la séptima ola¡ La séptima es imprevisible. Durante mucho tiempo pasa inadvertida, participa en el monótono proceso, se adapta a sus predecesoras. Pero a veces estalla. Siempre ella, siempre la séptima. Porque es despreocupada, inocente, rebelde, barre con todo, lo cambia todo. Para ella no existe el antes, solo el ahora. Y después todo es distinto. ¿Mejor o peor? Eso solo pueden decirlo quienes estuvieron arrastrados por ella, quienes tuvieron el coraje de enfrentarla, de dejarse cautivar...”

“How is it possible for people to have so much power yet be so stupid?”

Marshmallows for Breakfast - Dorothy Koomson
"Remember how you told me about the intuition? Guilt aside, I never had a moment of uneasiness about him or when I was with him. I found myself relaxing. I was normal. My body felt normal things, I wasn't…"
“Hope is only useful if you do something with it. Sitting around and hoping something works out, and hoping something works out while doing everything in your power to make sure it does are two completely different things.”

“... deep down nobody is bad, only frightened.”
“Destiny doesn't do home visits... you have to go for it yourself.”
Zagy's rating:
“That's what I love about reading: one tiny thing will interest you in a book, and that tiny thing will lead you to another book, and another bit there will lead you onto a third book. It's geometrically progressive - all with no end in sight, and for no other reason than sheer enjoyment.”

Gone Girl - Gillian Flynn
“Because isn’t that the point of every relationship: to be known by someone else, to be understood? He gets me. She gets me. Isn’t that the simple magic phrase?”

The Fault in Our Stars - John Green_xii
“As he read, I fell in love the way you fall asleep: slowly, and then all at once.”
“Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.”
“You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world...but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.”
