The Giver was the first book I had read that really made me think.
I read it when I was in seventh grade, and never had something
been so frightening and interesting at the same time. I hadn't read
anything like it before, it was so deep.

A quote from this book that interests me, and always had, was

"They were satisfied with their lives which had none of the vibrance
his own was taking on. And he was angry at himself, that he could
not change that for them."


Unfortunately, unless you read the book, you wouldn't really
know what this meant, but you can still pick your own meaning
behind it. For me, at times it does seem that I am the only one
who still has morals and was truly happy with my life. I would
look at my friends and see how unhappy they were, and I just
wanted to do anything in my power to give them what I had.

Of course, then there were times were I felt like them, but I
never take for granted what I have.

Now, an anarchist moment is coming up, a quote from my sister actually.

"All politicians are corrupt, greedy . . . and pretty much liers."

That does sound like it would come from somebody in my family, haha.

Now, a while back I discovered a very helpful website.
Thinkexist.com and it's filled with thousands of amazing quotes.

This is one, though I forgot who said it :

“My entire soul is a cry, and all my
work is a commentary on that cry.”
