Spent most of yesterday reading. I ended up reading Children with Emerald Eyes by Mira Rothenberg and I have to say I had quite the time trying to get to sleep last night! So much in that book that I was not prepared for! But there are some amazing quotes in there. My favorite thus far is:

"Have you ever heard the sound of rage when it seems noiseless? It roars with an intensity. It grumbles with a desiccating rhythm. Its voice is dry and throaty. Sometimes it sounds like hell. And its color is white.

Have you ever heard the sound of terror when it is noiseless? It rustles helplessly, like a leaf in a hurricane. It breaks hard, like the thunder. And it has a smell, a smell that shrivels your skin, a smell that makes you break out in a sweat so cold it freezes you. And its color is blue--deep, dark blue.

Have you ever heard the sound of pain when it is noiseless? It howls the loudest and it whines the quietest. It sounds as if it comes from the deepest bowels of the earth--that is you. It shakes with intensity and trembles with its own resonance over oceans of nothingness. And its color is black.

Have you ever heard the sound of loneliness when it is noiseless? It has a blast of thousands of trumpets. It has the howling of hyenas waiting for their prey. It has the howl of herds of starving wolves. Its melody is neither nice nor pretty. And it is gentle and full of fury. It is deep and somber, threatening and pleading. And its color is gray."

Now if that doesn't move you then I don't know what will.
