people what-if recycled
What if people knew they were recycled? Would that change anything?
father people cases
Alice suspected Paul couldn’t really picture his father, just like she couldn’t picture Paul when he was away. Maybe that was the case with people you wanted more than was good for you.
self people giving
It was frustrating when people loved you and took an interest in you and sometimes worried about you and personally cared what you did with yourself. Lena wished that love were something you could flip on and off. You could turn it on when you felt good bout yourself and worthy of it and generous enough to return it. You could clip it off when you needed to hide or self-destruct and had nothing at all to give." (Lena, 194)
people age shy
Shy” was the sympathetic interpretation she got from older people. “Snotty” was the interpretation she got from people her own age.
falling-in-love fall people
some people fall in love over and over again while some people can only do it once.
beautiful people beautiful-people
Particularly beautiful people were like particularly funny-looking people, though. Once you know them you mostly forgot about it.
sister writing people
Different people were good at different things, Lena mused. Lena was good at writing thank-you notes, for instance, and Effie was good at being happy.
falling-in-love fall people
There are some people who fall in love over and over.
bridges people fake
Lena was an introvert. She knew she had trouble connecting with people. She always felt like her looks were fake bait, seeming to offer a bridge to people, which she couldn't easily cross.
people lost-everything bees
She was sad about what happened to Kostos. And someplace under that, she was sad that people like Bee and Kostos, who had lost everything, were still open to love, and she, who'd lost nothing, was not.
love-you people mad
Maybe, sometimes, it's easier to be mad at the people you trust because you know they'll always love you, no matter what.
people would-be looks
Maybe they would look at each other and feel some odd yearning, but neither of them would know why. They would want to stop, but they would be embarrassed, and neither would know what to say. They would go their separate ways. Who knew? Maybe that happened every day to people who'd once loved each other.
self years people
Those were the people who made her something, and without them she was different. She'd held on to them and to that old self tenaciously, though. She clung to it, celebrated it, worshipped it even, instead of constructing a new grown-up life for herself. For years she'd been eating the cold crumbs left over from a great feast, living on them as though they could last her forever.
people behinds
What you leave behind is the people you loved. You leave yourself in them.
