Lovers at the Museum by Isabel Allende
β€œAfter considering several possibilities, the astute detective determined that the lovers must’ve walked into the Guggenheim at the precise instant in which the museum entered the dimension of dreams, and they unwittingly fell into a time that is not marked by clocks.”

ONE DARK WINDOW
a heart of gold can still turn to rot. what he wrote, what he did, was all done for naught. his cards are but weapons, his kingdom now cruel. shepherd of folly, king of the fools.

OBIT - Victoria Chang
The way memory is the ringing after a gunshot. The way we try to remember the gunshot but can't. The way memory gets up after someone has died and starts walking.

the twilight saga: alice cullen (born mary alice brandon)
"She sees things β€” things that might happen, things that are coming. But it’s very subjective. The future isn’t set in stone. Things change."

VASILISA PETROVNA was an ugly little girl: skinny as a reed-stem with long-fingered hands and enormous feet. Her eyes and mouth were too big for the rest of her. Olga called her frog, and thought nothing of it. But the child’s eyes were the color of the forest during a summer thunderstorm, and her wide mouth was sweet. She could be sensible when she wishedβ€”and cleverβ€”so much so that her family looked at each other, bewildered, each time she abandoned sense and took yet another madcap idea into her head. In truth, VASYA was still awkward, but she had begun growing into her face. The bones were still rough-hewn and overlarge, her mouth still too wide and full-lipped for the rest of her. But she was compelling: the moods passed like clouds over the clear green water of her gaze, and something about her movements, the line of her neck and braided hair, caught the eye and held it. When the light struck her black hair it did not gleam bronze as Marina’s had, but dark red, like garnets caught in the silky strands. (x,x)
