Favorite Tracey Garvis Graves Quotes

1. "[T.J.] Without thinking, I held them out to her. She stopped laughing, and looked at me like she wasn't quite sure what I meant. I waited, and she leaned toward me and opened her mouth. I slid my fingers inside, wondering if my eyes were as big as hers. When she sucked the breadfruit off, my breathing got all messed up."More?"She nodded, just barely, and her breathing didn't sound right either. I scooped up some breadfruit and this time, when I put my fingers in her mouth, she put her hand on my wrist. I waited for her to swallow and then I lost my shit completely. I grabbed her face with both hands, and I kissed her, hard. She opened her mouth and I slipped my tongue inside. I could have kissed her for days, and if she told me to stop I wasn't sure I'd be able to." ~ Tracey Garvis Graves

2. "Maybe that's how it starts. You stumble upon something that helps you cope, fills a void. Makes you feel something different than what you currently feel. You know in the long run it probably won't be good for you, but you do it anyway. Tell yourself you can handle it." ~ Tracey Garvis Graves

3. "[T.J.] If she had gotten sick, the only thing I could have done was watch her suffer. Bury her next to Mick when she died. I didn't know if I could make it without her. The sound of her voice, her smile, her– those were the things that made living on the island bearable. I held her a little tighter and thought if she woke up I might tell her that. She didn't though. She sighed in her sleep, and eventually I drifted off." ~ Tracey Garvis Graves

4. "It would be like eating your favorite food. At first, it would be great but after a while you wouldn't want it anymore. It wouldn't taste as good." ~ Tracey Garvis Graves

6. "This next part might cheer you up. So my mom told me she was gonna drive me to my appointment at the sperm bank, and she handed me one of my dad's Playboys--I had something way dirtier stashed in my closet, by the way--and she asked me, all serious, if I knew what do do.""You've got to be kidding.""No, I'm not." He started laughing. "I was fifteen, Anna. I was and expert at it, and I did not want to talk about jacking off with my mom." ~ Tracey Garvis Graves

7. "We were eating lunch when a chicken walked out of the woods."Anna, look behind you."She turned around. "What the heck?"We watched as the chicken came closer. It pecked the ground, not in any kind of hurry."There was one more after all," I said."Yeah, the stupid one," Anna pointed out. "Although it's the last one standing, so it's done something right."It came right up to Anna and she said, "Oh, hi. Do you not know what we did to the rest of your kind?" ~ Tracey Garvis Graves

8. "Maybe it wasn't about being alone. Maybe the answer wasn't about hiding from those who wanted something, but about finding those who needed help but would never considering asking." ~ Tracey Garvis Graves

9. "T.J. seemed older than seventeen. Reserved almost. Maybe facing serious health problems eliminated some of the immature behavior that presented itself when you had nothing more to worry about than getting your driver's license, cutting class, or breaking curfew." ~ Tracey Garvis Graves

10. "What did you wrap my hand with?" he asked. "My thong." I looked up at him. "You were right ; it's totally uncomfortable. Awesome for first-aid though." The corners of T.J.'s mouth turned up slighty. He looked at me, his brown eyes showing a trance of the spark that had been missing the night before. "It'll make for a funny story someday," I said. "You know what, Anna? It's kinda funny now." ~ Tracey Garvis Graves

11. "I've never been so scared in my life. I thought that shark was going to eat you."TJ hugged me, resting his chin on the top of my head. "It didn't though.""We're going to eat him now, aren't we?" I asked."Oh, hell yes," he said, a big grin on his face." ~ Tracey Garvis Graves

12. "Don't worry," she says. "They're happy tears. There's nothing I love more than a good happy ending." ~ Tracey Garvis Graves

13. "I don't fit in your world.""Neither do I," he said, his expression tender yet resolute. "So let's make our own. We've done it before." ~ Tracey Garvis Graves

14. "[T.J.] I pulled my arms out from underneath her body and tucked her hair behind her ears. "I love you, Anna."The surprised look on her face told me she hadn't seen that coming."You weren't supposed to fall in love," she whispered."Well, I did," I said, looking into her eyes. "I've been in love with you for months. I'm telling you now because I think you love me too, Anna. You just don't think you're supposed to. You'll tell me when you're ready. I can wait." I pulled her mouth down to mine and kissed her and when it ended, I smiled and said, "Happy birthday." ~ Tracey Garvis Graves

15. "[T.J.] I kissed her as soon as we were inside her apartment, and I wasn't gentle about it, holding her face firmly in my hands and pressing my lips hard against hers. She wasn't anyone's to own – I knew that – but right then she was mine." ~ Tracey Garvis Graves

16. "I want you to be my wife. There's no one else I want to spend the rest of my life with. We can live out here, you, me, our kids, and Bo. But I get it now, Anna. My decisions affect you, too. So now you have one of your own to make. Will you marry me?" ~ Tracey Garvis Graves

A bouquet of flowers gathered from the various bushes and shrubs scattered around the island lay on the blanket beside me, a small length of rope wound around their stems.I found T.J. down at the shore. "Someone's been checking the calendar."He grinned. "I didn't want to miss Valentine's Day."I kissed him. "You're sweet to me."Pulling me closer, he said, "It's not hard, Anna."I stared into T.J.'s eyes, and he started to sway. My arms went around his neck and we danced, moving in a circle, the sand soft and warm under our feet."You don't need music, do you?""No," T.J. said. "But I do need you." ~ Tracey Garvis Graves

19. "You're not gonna name it Dog, are you?" ~ Tracey Garvis Graves

20. "Oh God T.J., I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking" Nothing like going on about having kids in front of someone whose fertility had been exchanged for survival." ~ Tracey Garvis Graves

21. "I do think we have the capacity to love more than one person at a time, and that the love we feel for someone can be displaced, transferred, shifted. Even shared with another. But not lost. At least not forever." ~ Tracey Garvis Graves

22. "You named the chicken, Chicken?" She looked embarrassed. "When we decided not to kill it, I got attached." ~ Tracey Garvis Graves

Today's Quote

Mais le narrateur est plutôt tente de croire qu'en donnant trop d'importance aux belles actions, on rend finalement un hommage indirect et puissant au mal. Car on laisse supposer alors que ces belles actions n'ont tant de prix que parce qu'elles sont rares et que la méchanceté et l'indifférence sont des moteurs bien plus fréquents dans les actions des hommes. C'est la une idée que le narrateur ne partage pas. Le mal qui est dans le monde vient presque toujours de l'ignorance, et la bonne volonté peut faire autant de dégâts que la méchanceté, si elle n'est pas éclairée. Les hommes sont plutôt bons que mauvais, et en vérité ce n'est pas la question. Mais ils ignorent plus ou moins, et c'est ce qu'on appelle vertu ou vice, le vice le plus désespérant étant celui de l'ignorance qui croit tout savoir et qui autorise alors a tuer. L'ame du meurtrier est aveugle et il n'y a pas de vraie bonté ni de belle amour sans toute la clairvoyance possible."
