Aru Shah and the End of Time
Roshani Chokshi
Top 10 Best Quotes
“It is not failure to fail.”
“A particularly good book has a way of opening new spaces in one's mind. It even invited you to come back later and rummage through what you'd learn.”
“Maybe that's why superheroes wore capes. Maybe they weren't capes at all, but safety blankets, like the one Aru kept at the bottom of her bed and pulled up under her chin before she went to sleep. Maybe superheroes just tied their blankies around their necks so they'd have a little bit of comfort wherever they went. Because honestly? Saving the world was scary. No harm admitting that.”
“It was one of the things that she liked best when her mother told her the stories: villains could be heroic, and heroes could do evil.”
“Sometimes light illuminates things that are better left in the dark.”
“You will never be a hero. You were never meant to be a hero." Hero. that one word made Aru lift her chin. It made her think of Mini and Boo, her mom, and all the incredible things she herself had done in just nine days. Breaking the lamp hadn't been heroic... but everything else? Fighting for people she cared about and doing everything it took to fix her mistake? That was heroism. Vajra became a spear in her hand. "I already am. And it's heroine.”
“Tales are slippery, her mother had often said. The truth of a story depends on who is telling it.”
“People are a lot like magical pockets. They're a lot bigger on the inside than they appear to be on the outside.”
“I believe that the world could be different. I believe that our destinies aren't chains around our necks, but wings that give us flight.”
“This is what we get for thinking that scaley orange skin and fake hair could keep that former demon out of elected office.”
