The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue ? ? V. E. Schwab
[RELEITURA]
?| "What she needs are stories.
Stories are a way to preserve one's self. To be remembered. And to forget.
Stories come in so many forms: in charcoal, and in song, in paintings, poems, films. And books.
Books, she has found, are a way to live a thousand lives?or to find strength in a very long one."
"...it is sad, of course, to forget.
But it is a lonely thing, to be forgotten.
To remember when no one else does."
"Three words, large enough to tip the world. I remember you."
"Because time is cruel to all, and crueler still to artists. Because visions weakens, and voices wither, and talent fades.... Because happiness is brief, and history is lasting, and in the end... everyone wants to be remembered."
"Being forgotten, she thinks, is a bit like going mad. You begin to wonder what is real, if you are real. After all, how can a thing be real if it cannot be remembered?"
"His heart has a draft. It lets in light. It lets in storms. It lets in everything."
"remember seeing that picture and realizing that photographs weren?t real. There?s no context, just the illusion that you?re showing a snapshot of a life, but life isn?t snapshots, it?s fluid. So photos are like fictions. I loved that about them. Everyone thinks photography is truth, but it?s just a very convincing lie."
"Adeline has decided she would rather be a tree, like Estele. If she must grow roots, she would rather be left to flourish wild instead of pruned, would rather stand alone, allowed to grow beneath the open sky."
"The first mark she left upon the world, long before she knew the truth, that ideas are so much wilder than memories, that they long and look for ways of taking root."
"Because happiness is brief, and history is lasting, and in the end,? he says, ?everyone wants to be remembered."
