Quotes from Harlen Coben's novel " Tell No One"
"the overriding lesson was simply this: You could trust nature but not man."
"Fleeing was a great plan, but a destination would make it even better."
"Night has taken serious hold, blanketing the manicured grounds. The crickets hummed an almost pretty melody, as though the super-rich could even manipulate that. Tinkling piano music spilled from the sliding doors. Lights from inside the house provided a modicum of illumination, casting shadows of burnt red and yellow."
"The wind blew, the trees danced, the purple-orange of sunset was starting to give way to a polished pewter."
"I ran then. Branches whipped my face. I didn't care. My legs begged me to let up. I paid them no heed. My lungs protested. I told them to toughen up. When I finally made the right at the semi-phallic rock and rounded my path's corner, the tree was still there. I moved closer and felt my eyes start to well up."
I especially like the second quote and the first part of the last one.

"There are sudden rips. There are tears in your life, deep knife wounds that slash through your flesh. Your life is one thing, then it is shredded into another. It comes apart as though gulted in a belly slit. And then there are those moments when your life simply unravels. A loose thread pulled. A seam gives way. The change is slow at first, nearly imperceptible."
"She saw it the first day - the shatter in their eyes- and while progress had been made, lives had been lived, pieces had been picked up, the shatter had never left."
I love to read. Good books with interesting plots drowns me in the story and let me escape from my monotony. Still escaping. The shatter had never left.

New escape route : Eminem's Curtain Call CD
"My tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all.
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all And even if I could it'll all be grey. "
"I can see you're sad, even when you smile, even when you laugh I can see it in your eyes, deep inside you want to cry."
Have I lost my halo? Did I even have one in the first place?
Pain.
Escaping is only weakness.
