The characters in the story may have different intentions. But they have equally strong passions to pursue them. This quote is a timely reminder that passion ignites resilience and resourcefulness during difficult times.“Passion knows no boundaries,” said Mick.

I love descriptions like this. When sentences are constructed in a contradictory way like this, it sticks with me more, and then I carry it for longer. And if I carry it longer, I’m more likely to look for similar instances and details in the world around me.ericamartabee wrote: ↑14 Feb 2022, 16:17 "The wind roared through the trees, but I heard, or felt, a terrible kind of silence."
The sentence itself sounds like what it is describing. The soft rolls of the first part,turning into the abruptness of "terrible kind". It seems like a contradiction to be able to sense both at once but it isn't.
I’ve found that, oftentimes, moments are simply what your perspective makes them into. And being able to look for a sense of silence in a sound made by the wind makes it seem like I can put magic into normal moments.

It's funny how often children teach their parents things that their parents initially taught them.Eriny Youssef wrote: ↑13 Feb 2022, 15:12I like the quote you picked, usually one learns this lesson after much experience. Interesting also the the daughter said it back to yer father.Inge van Tonder wrote: ↑13 Feb 2022, 12:20 My favorite quote is when Victoria speaks to her father. “Find solutions through partnerships, Dad. You taught me, remember?” That hits home. Solve your problem the right way.

I agree with the power of this quote.Peace Chux wrote: ↑08 Feb 2022, 21:37 When Travis said "The woman chooses in this world too" It came up in a conversation with Sergei about Myra but it meant so much more to me.
Gender equality is everything.

I like this idea of not looking for trouble but not hiding from any trouble that should arrive.fashionista_rose wrote: ↑10 Feb 2022, 08:21 When Sarah was asked to learn how to handle conflicts without fighting, she replied:
"Why? I win my fights. I don't pick fights, but I don't back down. " It shows boldness, confidence, and determination to always win. It could be linked to the challenges of life. We don't pick our challenges but wouldn't back down until they are sorted. We wouldn't back down.

It's true that making amends can take just as much strength (if not more) than standing one's ground.Folushour wrote: ↑11 Feb 2022, 10:14Winning fights and handing conflicts are two different things though. Fighting might take more energy and be more catastrophic. Ego would push one to fight, but wanting love and peace more than wanting to prove oneself would motivate one to avoid it if possible.fashionista_rose wrote: ↑10 Feb 2022, 08:21 When Sarah was asked to learn how to handle conflicts without fighting, she replied:

This quote is perfect for the start of the book since Sarah and her friends have visions of the past and these revelations affect their future.

He was obviously talking about the rumors of black bear sightings, which grew more fanciful with each retelling in his opinion. However, I found this to be true of stories dispersed through the grapevine. Each time a rumor is spread, more information is miraculously added to it until the final story is a grotesque caricature of the actual events.Every time a story is told, the tracks grow larger, the animal fiercer.
