“I'm oxygen and he's dying to breathe.”
I have a gift
I'm more than human
My touch is power
I will fight back
Juliette hasn’t touched anyone in exactly 264 days.
The last time she did, it was an accident, but The Reestablishment locked her up for murder. No one knows why Juliette’s touch is fatal. As long as she doesn’t hurt anyone else, no one really cares. The world is too busy crumbling to pieces to pay attention to a 17-year-old girl. Diseases are destroying the population, food is hard to find, birds don’t fly anymore, and the clouds are the wrong color.
The Reestablishment said their way was the only way to fix things, so they threw Juliette in a cell. Now so many people are dead that the survivors are whispering war – and The Reestablishment has changed its mind. Maybe Juliette is more than a tortured soul stuffed into a poisonous body. Maybe she’s exactly what they need right now.
Juliette has to make a choice: Be a weapon. Or be a warrior. (source: goodreads)
This. Book. Has. The. Most. Beautiful. Quotes. I've. Ever. Read. And I have read a lot of book trust me.
And the whole story is heartbreakingly beautiful. The whole book is just beautiful. It's holy and gorgeus and I just envy it.
Juliette is so strong and beautiful, inside and out. I really love how Adam describes her as good. Like he loves Juliette because she's so good to others and doesn't expect anything in return. I really would love to be like that sometimes.
Adam's brother is such cute thing you just have to love him and I can tell you, I do, with everything i have.
The way Tahereh describes our surroundings is magical and a art. For example my favourite quote from this book is about raindrops. You don't really think about them, but they're so interesting if you get how she sees them: "I always wonder about raindrops.
I wonder about how they're always falling down, tripping over their own feet, breaking their legs and forgetting their parachutes as they tumble right out of the sky toward an uncertain end. It's like someone is emptying their pockets over the earth and doesn't seem to care where the contents fall, doesn't seem to care that the raindrops burst when they hit the ground, that they shatter when they fall to the floor, that people curse the days the drops dare to tap on their doors.
I am a raindrop." and "Raindrops are my only reminder that clouds have a heartbeat. That I have one, too."
Other quotes I really like are: "The moon is a loyal companion.
It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections."
"His eyes are two buckets of rainwater: deep, fresh, clear. Hurt."
