I also found that listening to this song really amped-up my reading experience:ĪRC kindly provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. I'm so glad to having finally read some of Lang Leav's writing. I suppose that is something to be thankful for.” You won’t hear me talk about you anymore. “Loving you is like being ten years old again, scaling a tree with my eyes bright and skyward, wanting only to get higher and higher, without a thought of how I would get back down.” “But when I look at you, I just know instinctively, that despite the odds against you and although life will always find a way to test you, someday you’ll have everything you want. “You won’t hear from me again after today, and I don’t want you to worry. “I loved you once and now I must spend my whole life explaining why.” “The sad thing is,” she said, “the moment you start to miss someone, it means they’re already gone.” “When you lose a person, a whole universe goes along with them.” “I don’t want to be the one who tucks you into bed-I want to be the reason why you can’t sleep at night.” She will not only climb mountains-she will move them too.” “She can feel it down to her very core-this is her time. Physicality is an expression of intimacy-not an indication of it.” “Yes, I think it is entirely possible to fall in love with someone you’ve never met. “There is a girl who smiles all the time,Ī boy who surrounds himself with friends, That’s the only way you will ever make a difference.” You just have to pick your little corner of the world and focus your energy there. It’s a lovely thought, and I’m not saying it’s not a noble pursuit-but it’s impossible to save everyone. “Most people want to save the entire world. “The second I tried to tell myself I wasn’t in love was the moment I realized I was.” And you are a girl walking into the storm.” Who could blame you? Love is a hurricane wrapped inside a chrysalis. But tomorrow, tomorrow could be different, and that is what keeps me going today.” “My demons are lying in wait, they are grinning in the shadows, their polished fangs glinting, knowing today, it will be an easy kill. But I will never give you what you want in chains.” I will show you just how much I love you, with the inward draw of every breath-the collective sigh of the world and all its despair. My love is not a testament to my surrender. “And I told him, if I am so hard to love, then let me run wild. I'll definitely be picking up more of Lang Leav's books very soon.īut for now, I'll share a few quotes from my favorite poems in this collection: And I was actually let down when I reached the ending so quickly. This book covers everything from love and loss, hope and hurt, being lost and found. (And also that cover is absolutely stunning.) This was my first Lang Leav poetry book, and I was truly not expecting to like this collection so much - mainly because I don’t consider myself to be much of a romantic - but The Universe of Us really surprised me for the better. The above quote perfect describes my feelings about this book. Each page is like a newly formed galaxy, fashioned from a single, pulsing thought.Ī book travels for days, for years, sometimes for centuries to meet you at an exact point in time.” This was my first Lang Leav poetry book, and I was truly not expecting to like this collection so much - mainly because I don’t consider myself to be much of a romantic - but The Universe of Us really su “In many ways, a book is, in itself, a tiny universe.
