This is... mating, it's not love.
Beth Revis -
If someone loves you, he'll wait for you to love him back.

People are, at their heart, constantly moving toward a state of entropy. Much like this ship. We’re all spiraling out of control.
Beth Revis -
I would trade all the stars in the universe if I could just have him back again.
Beth Revis -
A good book will give you answers to questions you didn't know you had. A great book will give you questions to answers you thought you knew.
Beth Revis -
Our masterpieces are Shakespeare and Jane Austen and griots and Murasaki Shikibu, but they’re also J.K. Rowling and Chuck Palahnuik and Douglas Adams and Amy Tan and Suzanne Collins and Chinua Achebe. Read. Read them all. Read the books you love, and try to read books you don’t. Read the genres you love, but sometimes also read a book outside your comfort zone. Read voraciously.

For the past three months, the walls of Goodspeed forced us close together. Now I´m wondering if they were the only things that kept Amy near me.
Beth Revis -
But of course these are scientists. Tell them to leave something alone, and all they want to do is poke it with a stick.

And I look at Harley, and the billions of stars are in his eyes, and he's drinking them up, pouring them into his soul.
Beth Revis -
When I finally get out of bed, the only thing I want to do is go straight to Amy and demand her forgiveness. Maybe we can at least go back to what we had before our fight, even if all we had was an awkward friendship punctuated by significant silences.
Beth Revis -
Sorry? Sorry? Sorry isn't enough. Every. Single. Thing. I ever loved is beyond my reach now. Everything I ever wanted. Everything I ever was.
Beth Revis -
I reached inside her and pulled out the deepest memories in her body, the memories that words can’t describe, the memories that are as much a piece of her as her arms and legs. Those are the ones she’s filled with now.
Beth Revis -
I wrote a book. It sucked. I wrote nine more books. They sucked, too. Meanwhile, I read every single thing I could find on publishing and writing, went to conferences, joined professional organizations, hooked up with fellow writers in critique groups, and didn't give up. Then I wrote one more book.
Beth Revis -
The first cause of discord is difference. There is no religion on Godspeed. We all speak the same language. We're all monoethnic. And because we are not different, we don't fight. Remember the Crusades I taught you? The genocides? We will never have to worry about those types of horrific events on Godspeed.
Beth Revis
-
You never know all of a person; you only know them in a specific moment of time.
Beth Revis -
We can fight, and we can disagree, but I'm never going to let you walk away from me thinking I don't love you.
Beth Revis -
...that was before I'd started thinking about how life stuck on a ship wouldn't be so bad if Elder walked around pantless more.
Beth Revis -
Everyone has wounds; everyone pretends they don’t.
Beth Revis -
The silence in our house now is born from the need for intense concentration, as we all carefully step around the truth we wish we didn't know, the person we can't help that Bo became, the future we're all afraid is collapsing around us, falling as silent and cold and crushing as snow.
Beth Revis -
Perhaps the only thing worse than fear is apathy. Fear makes us do horrible things to people. Apathy makes us allow horrible things to happen to them.
Beth Revis
-
Because if I break, they'll break too. It's a responsibility I'd never really felt before, or at least I never thought about enough to name. But, Bo's actions just cement my place in my family. He can walk away from the dinner table. I can't.
Beth Revis -
Maybe one day the smears of paint Harley left throughout Godspeed will fade, and maybe the stars never will, but i'd rather have Harley's colors.
Beth Revis -
I love to write the weird and creepy stuff!
Beth Revis -
I want to take her into my arms and hold her tight. But at the same time, I know that is the exact opposite of what she wants. She wants to be free, and all I want is to hold her tight against me.
