Author of quotes: Patrick Ness

Sometimes what people need most is to deceive themselves.

Everything has come to an end. But once it starts.

Life does not have to develop as you wish.

It is sometimes useful to figure out what's wrong.

The biggest mistake of Gudmund.
He couldn't replace someone's entire world.
But tried anyway.

At first, everything is fine, not a fountain, but tolerable, that's all.
Then it gets worse, but too used to it.
And because one fine morning you Wake up and can't understand how you came to such a life.

Give the person the opportunity to become thick and hardened, he will not miss it.

People Express requests in different ways. Sometimes it seems to be asking for.

Gudmund put a hand on his shoulder.
Seth turned, although it is now that really would give the whole world for that touch.

Loneliness.
Energized fatigue nightmare the alone covers Set head, like a wave in which he drowned.

Set like on the bottom of the well: the sun, life, salvation, somewhere far, far away, and even if you call for help - still no one will hear.
I know the feeling.

The heaviness in my chest became even stronger.
Mystery - that was the great thing about them Gudmundson. Retire, they were hiding in their own separate universe with a population of two people, becoming isolated each other.
Yourself the world.
Themselves space.
And nobody had the right to know, no parents, no friends, no one.
Not because it's bad but because it's HIM. Unique in all the world thing, entirely owned by him.

In this strange hell, he absolutely and completely alone.
"And incidentally, he thinks, feeling not to say to strangers."

And so his attention is not spoiled.
Maybe the parents even secretly rejoice that he drowned, but not Owen.
"It turns out, you can die before death."
In the Park no one, no one in the whole world does not see, as he sits on the edge of the sandbox, but Seth still buries his forehead in his knees, so as not to show anyone the flowing streams of tears.
