The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender
Leslye Walton
Top 10 Best Quotes
“Love makes us such fools.”
“Just because love don't look the way you think it should, don't mean you don't have it.”
“I found it ironic that I should be blessed with wings and yet feel so constrained, so trapped. It was because of my condition, I believe, that I noticed life's ironies a bit more often than the average person. I collected them: how love arrived when you least expected it, how someone who said he didn't want to hurt you eventually would.”
“And that might just be the root of the problem: we're all afraid of each other, wings or no wings.”
“Love, as most know, follows its own timeline. Disregarding our intentions or well rehearsed plans.”
“To many, I was myth incarnate, the embodiment of a most superb legend, a fairy tale. Some considered me a monster, a mutation. To my great misfortune, I was once mistaken for an angel. To my mother, I was everything. To my father, nothing at all. To my grandmother, I was a daily reminder of loves long lost. But I knew the truth—deep down, I always did. I was just a girl.”
“Why would you be given wings if you weren't meant to fly?”
“By this point Viviane Lavender had loved Jack Griffith for twelve years, which was far more than half of her life. If she thought of her love as a commodity and were to, say, eat it, it would fill 4,745 cherry pies. If she were to preserve it, she would need 23,725 glass jars and labels and a basement spanning the length of Pinnacle Lane. If she were to drink it, she'd drown.”
“She laughed for her wasted, difficult life that never had to be wasted or difficult in the first place.”
“Fate. As a child, that word was often my only companion. It whispered to me from dark corners during lonely nights. It was the song of the birds in spring and the call of the wind through bare branches on a cold winter afternoon. Fate. Both my anguish and my solace. My escort and my cage.”
