Pink Yarn And Bellewether Quotes

Tweet

Well, part of my walmart order just arrived and now I am the proud owner of two new skeins of yarn. I'm going to start playing with that in just a bit, but before I do... It's been awhile since I've made a discussion of my favorite quotes from a book. These were highlighted on my kindle so that I could write them in my quote journal later. I had to access them via the computer, but am glad that I am able to do that. Anyway... And yet, no man could live a day ahead of death for all the years he had without gaining the sense to know when things were wrong. Page 51 Bellewether By Susanna Kearsley Draw me not without cause; sheathe me not without honor. Page 52 Wars lay easier upon the conscience, Lydia decided, when you could not see the faces of the people you were fighting. And it was vastly easier to hate a man when you’d not learned his Christian name, or pried into his private thoughts and learned that he was human. Page 87 Maybe he was seeking to remind himself—remind them all—that while he was a prisoner at the mercy of his keepers, far from home and from his purpose, he had not yet ceased to be a man. Page 188 “My grandmother,” he told me, “had a theory about doors. Whenever things were going wrong, she’d have my stepdad come hang a new door for her. He’d tell her she was nuts, that doors were doors, but she’d say no door ever opened exactly the same as the last one, the new one was always that little bit different, and anyway it never did any harm to walk through a new door now and then, and see where you end up.” Page 304 I think the last quote is one of my favorites. *Picture of yarn forthcoming
