white oleander by janet fitch is my all time favorite book. it's poetic; complicated in the most simple ways. the imagery in the book is beautiful. i've been skimming though it the last couple nights, so i thought i'd share some of my favorite quotes.
"so i just rode, the ocean spray tingling all over me, the tide rising, filled with starfish and phosphorescence, into the dawn."
"the best you'll ever do is to understand yourself, know what it is that you want, and not let the cattle stand in your way."
"the phoenix must burn to emerge."
"he was taking my silence but giving me something in return, a fullness of being recognized. i felt beautiful, but also interrupted. i wasn't used to being so complicated."
