This was a fun read. Thanks for sharing!
I collect quotes as I read. These ones are fun, poetical, or even philosophical. Take what you like, and leave the rest. Note that these aren't necessarily the "best" in the book. These happen to be close to the spot where I stopped reading each night.
They reached the park and circled the pond where a small flock of Canada geese had decided to spend the winter, living on handouts from local residents. A boy walking his dog was heading toward them and by unspoken agreement they split up, letting him pass between the two of them. Josh was setting a grueling pace, but Ella had no intention of asking him to slow down. The geese would have to start laying golden eggs before she would inform Josh that she couldn't keep up. p72
[comment: cliche but fun]
"His son's remarkable, Lina," Beth blurted. She'd stored up all kinds of things to tell her mentor and friend - things she knew Lindsay would understand. "He's as smart as you or me, easily. Remember that time when I was about eighteen months old and I wanted chocolate for breakfast and I convinced Mom that since my doll wanted chocolate, too, and we couldn't tell her no because she didn't have any ears, we had to have chocolate for breakfast?"
"Yeah," Lindsay grinned. "Your poor Mom! She called me up, crying and laughing at the same time. So proud of you and your amazing reasoning ability. And scared to death at the same time."
"Because she thought I was smarter than she was?"
"Partially. And partly because you were still a baby and already getting the best of her. How was she going to keep up with you, let alone stay one step ahead." p194
It made sense. Wonderful, bizarre, glorious sense. There was opposition in all things. Horrendous things happened. And so did miracles.
Joe thought about the circles that always come around if only there is another faith and hope to sustain them. p258
She had a pure and natural beauty, an inner light that shifted and spun like sunshine on prairie grass. p351
