Ally Condie Quotes

I'm So Tired.
Once, I Wanted To Watch The Floods Coming Into A Canyon, To Stand On The Edge And See It Happen, On Ground That Was Safe But Shaking. I'd Like To Hear The Trees Snapy Away And See The Water Come Higher, I Thought, But Only From A Place Where It Couldn't Reach Me.
Now I Think It Might Be A Terrifying, Bright Relief To Stand On The Canyon Floor And See The Wall Of Water Coming Down, And To Know This Is It, I Am Finished, And Before You Could Even Complete The Thought, You Would Be Swallowed, And Whole.
