Guest Post: My Favorite Quotes by Shawn Kirsten Maravel
When searching for books on Goodreads I always go through and find the book quotes, they�re my favorite. Not only is it a good way to get a taste for an author�s writing style but for the feel of a book. So I want to share with you a few of my favorite quotes and excerpts from all three of my novels, Volition, Severance, and The Wanderer.
�The longer I looked into his eyes the more I felt that he was leading me down a road that I was determined not to follow.�
? Volition
�Friends, I told myself. We could be friends. Friends held hands all the time, and I hadn�t given up hope that maybe he could even be gay. Gay would be perfect.�
? Volition
�His eyes darted over the surface of my face. Like a moth to a blaze he was hesitant, seeming to crave my warmth but not its inevitable burn. He explored me from a distance with his unspoken desire, with the fear that touching me would set him to flame. I wanted nothing more in that moment than to prove very much the opposite.�
? Volition
�Your heart is either beating or it's not, your heart never forgets. As long as your heart is beating follow it, it will always stay true to you.�
? Volition
�?A heart that had chosen its path couldn't be led in any other direction.�
? Severance
�The thirst we shared for one another made it clear that the distraction would only come from deprivation. Charlotte was always on my mind. In my dreams, her name balancing fatally on my lips at all times, the scent of her drove me on through my everyday tasks. It was in denying myself of her soft skin and intoxicating presence that I truly began to lose touch.�
? Severance
�I knew that she couldn�t hear me if she was there. But the sound was enough to grab me, to hold me to hope, and with desperation that I�d never known before I knew that I must find my way back to her.�
? Severance
�I was investing more and more of myself into an outcome I couldn�t predict and would very likely be disappointed by. But for me there was no other option.�
? Severance
�If I could get down on my knees and ask for your forgiveness I would,� he said �but I�m afraid that along with misplaced manners, yesterday�s accident has also taken away my ability to grovel properly.�-Landon�
? The Wanderer
�Can I make you some breakfast? Do you like your eggs sunny side up?�
�I�m going to start feeling spoiled if you keep up this grovelling. I�ve already forgiven you, you know.�
�Oh, I�m not grovelling. I�m just making breakfast. I figured since it�s your kitchen and all it would only be polite to offer you some.�
? The Wanderer
"A bike needs to be taken care of just like a woman. Treat her right and she'll bring you happiness you never knew existed. Lock her away and she'll make you suffer a worse fate than hell.�
? The Wanderer
