¡Hola, todoooos!
¿Cómo están? Yo tan agotadísima, recién llego de la universidad y derechito a estudiar, porque es época de parciales y, ¿adivinen qué? ¡no llego! *llora mucho*. Así que aprovecho, antes de pasar a lo lindo, a comentarles que va a haber actividad en el blog y la fanpage gracias a las publicaciones programadas, pero yo no voy a andar detrás (es mi yo del pasado la que va a hacerlo, mítico, ¿no?), así que avisados quedan.
Como siempre que me obsesiono con un libro, al finalizarlo tengo un millar de citas que fui marcando durante la lectura. En el caso de Two Boys Kissing, el libro quedó hecho un arco iris de post-its, cada dos segundos tenía que parar de leer para tocarme el pecho y susurrar "OMFG" o similar, porque cada dos palabras Levithan te tira una verdad universal colmada de belleza que te deja sin aliento o con los ojos colmados de lágrimas, por eso me enamoré tan perdidamente de sus letras.
Así que tengo una hermosa, hermosísima colección de citas de este libro (como 10 páginas de word), para que no se opaquen las unas a las otras, les dejo algunas hoy y el resto en otra ocasión :)
(Nota de Meli: ¡están en inglés! No quiero traducirlas, no me creo capaz de mantener su magia con mis traducciones y siento que las mancillaría con solo intentarlo).
"We remember what it was like to meet someone new. We remember what it was like to grant someone possibility. You look out from your own world and then you step into his, not really knowing what you’ll find there, but hoping it will be something good."
"You will never forget what that feels like, that hope. Yes, we could talk to you for days on end about all the bad first dates. Those are stories. Funny stories. Awkward stories. Stories we love to share, because by sharing them, we get something out of the hour or two we wasted on the wrong person. But that’s all bad first dates are: short stories. Good first dates are more than short stories. They are first chapters. On a good first date, everything is springtime."
"You spend so much time, so much effort, trying to hold yourself together. And then everything falls apart anyway."
"The first sentence of the truth is always the hardest. Each of us had a first sentence, and most of us found the strength to say it out loud to someone who deserved to hear it. What we hoped, and what we found, was that the second sentence of the truth is always easier than the first, and the third sentence is even easier than that. Suddenly you are speaking the truth in paragraphs, in pages. The fear, the nervousness, is still there, but it is joined by a new confidence. All along, you’ve used the first sentence as a lock. But now you find that it’s the key."
"There is nothing so heartening as a chance."
"We do not start as dust. We do not end as dust. We make more than dust.
That’s all we ask of you. Make more than dust."
"This is the power of a kiss: It does not have the power to kill you. But it has the power to bring you to life"
