White as Silence, Red as Song by Alessandro D'Avenia
3.0
I started this book like 3 years ago. But I finished it today and came across some beautiful lines about love that I'm adding to my book journal! This book is full of teenage angst. And fun little nicknames for things. Silly obsessions with "perfect" girls. Normal boy stuff. ;)
"Leo, love is a verb, not a noun. It's not something established once and for all, but it evolves, it grows, it goes up and down, it becomes submerged like the rivers hidden in the earth's core, but that never interrupt their journey toward the sea. At times they leave the ground dry, but they still flow beneath the surface in dark cavities and, from time to time, they resurface and gush out, nourishing everything."
this is so beautiful!
"...there are two types of people that hurt us, Leo. Those who hate us and those who love us." ---"Why could those who love us hurt us?"--"because whenever love is involved, people sometimes behave stupidly. Perhaps they do things the wrong way, but they are still trying...You should worry when those who love you stop hurting you, because it means they have stopped trying or that you have stopped caring."
A good 3.5 stars! (4 for Goodreads)
