“A secret is a strange thing.
There are three kinds of secrets. One is the sort everyone knows about, the sort you need at least two people for. One to keep it. One to never know. The second is a harder kind of secret: one you keep from yourself. Every day, thousands of confessions are kept from their would-be confessors, none of these people knowing that their never-admitted secrets all boil down to the same three words: I am afraid.
And then there is the third kind of secret, the most hidden kind. A secret no one knows about. Perhaps it was known once, but was taken to the grave. Or maybe it is a useless mystery, arcane and lonely, unfound because no one ever looked for it.
Sometimes, some rare times, a secret stays undiscovered because it is something too big for the mind to hold. It is too strange, too vast, too terrifying to contemplate.
All of us have secrets in our lives. We’re keepers or keptfrom, players or played. Secrets and cockroaches — that’s what will be left at the end of it all.”
– The Dream Thieves, Maggie Stiefvater –
“… All of us have secrets in our lives. We’re keepers or keptfrom, players or played. Secrets and cockroaches — that’s what will be left at the end of it all.”
Jo så är det nog, kan inte annat än hålla med, hemligheter har vi alla, stora som små och kanske är det allt som är kvar i slutet…det och kackerlackorna …
Ovan är öppningen från bok nummer två i The Raven Circle. Alla tre delarna är så fantastiska och fyllda med magi, men om jag måste välja en favorit av de tre är det nog denna.
I sommar följer jag #sommarlovmedkulturkollo, där varje dag har ett temaord, och dagens är alltså #hemligheter.
the road so far...
