Words in Deep Blue
Cath Crowley
Top 10 Best Quotes
“We are the books we read and the things we love.”
“Sometimes science isn't enough. Sometimes you need the poets.”
“But I love you, and before you say it words do matter. They're not pointless. If they were pointless then they couldn't start revolutions and they wouldn't change history and they wouldn't be the things that you think about every night before you go to sleep. If they were just words we wouldn't listen to songs, we wouldn't beg to be read to when we're kids. If they were just words, then they'd have no meaning and stories wouldn't have been around since before humans could write. We wouldn't have learned to write. If they were just words then people wouldn't fall in love because of them, feel bad because of them, ache because of them, stop aching because of them, have sex, quite a lot of the time, because of them.”
“But I don’t believe that the future gives us signs. I think that we look back and read the past with the present in our eyes.”

“It’s like he’s picking up parts of the world and showing them to me, saying, See? It’s beautiful.”
“I love lying here with you, under the books.”
“Love of the things that make you happy is steady too--books, words, music, art--these are lights that reappear in a broken universe.”
