Hi friends!
I’m late to post today about my favorite quotes by Amy Harmon.
Once again I should choose one but I can’t as I’m always highlighting like mad when I read her books. Seriously her writing is so gorgeous that every sentence is inspiring!
Here are my favorites from each book that I’ve read:
Making Faces
“Everybody is a somebody to someone.”
And a second one as this is my “best of the bests” book and because you really feel Fern despair here…
“If God made all our faces, did he laugh when he made me?
Does he make the legs that cannot walk and eyes that cannot see?
Does he curl the hair upon my head ’til it rebels in wild defiance?
Does he close the ears of a deaf man to make him more reliant?
Is the way I look a coincidence or just a twist of fate?
If he made me this way, is it okay, to blame him for the things I hate?
For the flaws that seem to worsen every time I see a mirror,For the ugliness I see in me, for the loathing and the fear.
Does he sculpt us for his pleasure, for a reason I can’t see?
If God makes all our faces, did he laugh when he made me?”
A Different Blue
“I keep wishing you had had a better life…a different life. But a different life would have made you a different Blue.” He looked at me then. “And that would be the biggest tragedy of all.”
”I was always amazed that my tears kept coming. Day after day. There was a limitless supply. My grief was a deep, underground spring constantly bubbling up and spilling over…”
“Every second I am a bird, I long to be a man. For you. For me. For the child I was so desperate to create. Not for Jeru. For us. You said I choose you because you are of use to me. And I did. But know this, Lark. I have loved you every moment of every day, and I will love you until I cease to be. Bird, man, or king, I love you, and I will always love you”
“The very best things in life are born of difficulty. Whatever comes too easily is easily abandoned.”
“In the end, only three things matter: How much you loved, How gently you lived, And how gracefully you let go Of things not meant for you.“
“They can take our homes, our possessions. Our families. Our lives. They can drive us out, like they’ve driven us out before. They can humiliate us and dehumanize us. But they cannot take our thoughts. They cannot take our talents. They cannot take our knowledge, or our memories, or our minds. In music there is no bondage. Music is a door, and the soul escapes through the melody.”
Do share with me some of your favorite quotes please!
