Philosophy Quote by Amie Kaufman — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“His face is close to mine, his hand warm against my back through my shirt. Despite the smile on his lips, his gaze is so sad it feels like my heart is ripping in two, turning to ash as I look at him. He knows as well as I do that neither of us is leaving Avon alive if we touch down again. He’ll never see snow, and I’ll never teach him what skis are.”

“He can’t take his eyes off the stars, but I can’t take mine off his face. I can see the stars reflected in his eyes, can see the wonder of it in the way his mouth opens but no sound comes out. His eyes, his face—they’re beautiful.”

“You’ve ruined me,” she repeats, her voice quieting a little as it catches. “You’ve ruined me—you made me wake up. And now I can’t get rid of you.” Her voice surges again as I reach out, curling my hand around her arm, her skin flushed hot under my fingers. “You won’t leave me alone.”

“And blood and tears and screams did not matter anymore, because at least they are together.”

“Um, because you're loopier than Flacky McPsycho, Mayor of Crazytown?”

“Opinions alter, manners change, creeds rise and fall, but the moral law is written on the tablets of eternity.”

“He alone is free who lives with free consent under the entire guidance of reason”

“Nobody is good or bad. They are either strong or weak. Strong people stick to their morals, no matter what the trials and tribulations. Weak people, many a times, do not even realise how low they have fallen.”

“No living creature is naturally greedy, except from fear of want - or in the case of human beings, from vanity, the notion that you're better than people if you can display more superfluous property than they can.”

“Life makes you pay...everybody pays something”

“A nation is a detour of nature to arrive at five or six great men- yes, and then to get around them.”
