Regarding your quotes:
ReplyDeleteI love the one about the perfect time. So very true.
And I totally agree about creativity being an act of defiance. Makes me think of the book Matched.
I haven't heard of Matched...is it good? And yes I love that quote about perfect time, it's hard to do though!
DeleteI loved Matched. But have yet to read the rest of the series. I definitely recommend it.
