Favorite Kirsten Hubbard Quotes

1. "I love moving in extra dimensions. Not just backwards and forwards, but up and down and around." ~ Kirsten Hubbard
2. "I recall the rasp of charcoal on newsprint, the chewing-gum stretch of a kneaded eraser, the precarious bite of a razor blade in a new pencil. The vibrancy of fresh watercolors squeezed from a tube. A new sketchbook, cracked open to flawless white. The way the smell of turpentine made me feel simultaneously sick and excited." ~ Kirsten Hubbard
3. "Well... I love moving in extra dimensions. Not just backwards and forwards, but up and down and around. And fins. I love swimming with fins— human feet are practically useless underwater. I love all the unique things you see on each dive. Millions oflittle aquatic soap operas playing out between all the creatures. And the silence. Well, it's not really silentdown there, but the roar of bubbles blocks any othersound..." ~ Kirsten Hubbard
4. "I know that this time, the worst thing I can do is let go. And I won't be losing anything. Because it's the most selfish thing I could ever do—to allow myself to fall for someone worthwhile." ~ Kirsten Hubbard
5. "You can't truly hate someone until you've cared about them. Until you've loved them." ~ Kirsten Hubbard
6. "What you love the most is what you have to fight the hardest to keep." ~ Kirsten Hubbard
7. "Envy is when you want what someone else has. Jealousy's when you also don't want them to have it." ~ Kirsten Hubbard
8. "Wanderlust is like itchy feet. It's when you can't settle down. But Wanderlove is much deeper than that . . . it's a compulsion. It's the difference between lust and love." ~ Kirsten Hubbard

10. "Hearing about vacations is like hearing about dreams -- no one cares except the person who's experienced them." ~ Kirsten Hubbard
11. "When you're three, you don't draw what you see--you draw upon your imagination. Nobody tells you to stop putting wings on people, unless you have a most unfortunate preschool teacher. You are intoxicated by your own magic." ~ Kirsten Hubbard
12. "You can appreciate the good things all around you, but the best part is imminent, just out of reach. Like... perpetual anticipation." ~ Kirsten Hubbard
13. "But all that's hugely unlikely -- with the exception of mosquito bites and sunburn. And yet even experienced travelers are still afraid. "What everyone forgets -- even me -- is the people who actually live here. In places like Central America, I mean. Southeast Asia. India. Africa. Millions, even billions, of people, who live out their whole lives in these places -- the places so many people like us fear. Think about it: they ride chicken buses to work every day. Their clothes are always damp. Their whole lives, they never escape the dust and the heat. But they deal with all these discomforts. They have to."So why can't travelers? If we've got the means to get here, we owe it to the country we're visiting not to treat it like an amusement park, sanitized for our comfort. It's insulting to the people who live here. People just trying to have the best lives they can, with the hands they've been dealt." ~ Kirsten Hubbard
14. "Because - admit it - there's something perversely appealing about sitting all alone, feeling sorry for yourself, especially when the scenery's stunning and there's a party going on behind you." ~ Kirsten Hubbard
15. "My dad didn't find me - I found myself. So that's when I figured out that the only person who could take care of me was me." ~ Kirsten Hubbard
16. "You're not big on people, are you?""I wouldn't say that. Just ... when faced with the choice between small talk with strangers and peace and quiet, I'll choose the latter every time. You know?" ~ Kirsten Hubbard
17. "I guess I work in small ways. It's kind of like this story someone told me, about a guy on the beach in Mexico throwing starfish in the sea. Thousands had washed ashore. Someone asked him why - 'Why are you wasting your time, when there are so many? You can't possibly make a difference.'""I know that story! The man threw another one back, and said -""'Made a difference to that one!'" Rowan finishes." ~ Kirsten Hubbard
18. "I liked the idea—that we left pieces of ourselves everywhere we went, coloring all our important places." ~ Kirsten Hubbard
19. "Isn't that what your memory was about, Bria? Losing control?" I pause. "I never knew memories were about anything. Besides the obvious. You make them sound like dreams -- subject to interpretation.""I think the two are more related than we realize. It's all in how our minds frame them. How we decide what -- and how -- we remember." ~ Kirsten Hubbard
20. "Prices are relative. So is poverty. So is happiness." ~ Kirsten Hubbard
21. "A person's actions could be interpreted in a number of ways, depending on who was watching. Their viewpoints were simply skewed by their beliefs, their prejudices, and their private desires. Their personal kaleidoscopes. I couldn't judge them, of course. I was the same way." ~ Kirsten Hubbard
22. "We could liberate a million trophies. We could fill every river to the brim. But it would never fully substitute for liberating ourselves." ~ Kirsten Hubbard
23. "Toby liked to say he chose not to be impulsive. As if being impulsive were something you consciously decide. When I look at Starling, with her turquoise turban and wet knot of hair, and at Rowan, with his stack of cheap string anklets, I think: Impulsive isn't something you choose. It's something you are. Like gay, or freckled or bipolar. Something I pretend to be but am not. Not really. Not deep down." ~ Kirsten Hubbard
24. "I found it mildly depressing that the height of color in Washokey came from the seasonal produce shipped from other states." ~ Kirsten Hubbard
25. "They're like the opposites poles of my personality. Mild-mannered, responsible Reese is who I used to be, while in-your-face Olivia's who I want to be—with a few sharp edges dulled." ~ Kirsten Hubbard
26. "We're always itching to go, to move on, to escape. We convince ourselves we could truly be happy if only we were somewhere else. Or somebody else." ~ Kirsten Hubbard
