Tuesday Quote #6

Quote to Ponder

Today I have two quotes. Each is thought provoking and they seem to fit together.

1. “…we all carry our prisons with us,” Kahler Jex; Doctor Who.**
2.  “…their motives are always hidden from you, buried in their own hearts,” Beatrice Prior; Insurgent book 2 of Divergent Series written by Veronica Roth.***

Doctor Who

The quote was taken from lines spoken by the character, Kahler-Jex (played by Adrian Scarborough). A Town Called Mercy   (season seven) originally aired August 29, 2012.

I am embarrassed to admit I might be on my way to becoming a “Doctor Who” fan. Thanks to my kids. :)

Insurgent Book 2 Divergent Series

Written By Veronica Roth

This quote is from Insurgent. I read it on my Amazon Kindle® so I don’t know the page number.

I have finished reading the first two books in the series and will be starting the third today. Veronica Roth’s Allegiant. I haven’t watched Divergent the movie as yet and since Insurgent will be coming out I guess I will have to see Divergent first. ;)

*Full Quotes:

**Kahler-Jex: “In my culture, we believe that when you die your spirit has to climb a mountain, carrying the souls of everyone you wronged in your lifetime. Imagine the weight I will have to lift. The monsters I created, the people they killed. Isaac. He was my friend. Now his soul will be in my arms too. Can you see now why I fear death? You want to hand me over, there’s no shame in that. But you won’t we all carry our prisons with us. Mine is my past. Yours is your morality.”

***Beatrice Prior: “People, I have discovered, are layers and layers of secrets. You believe you know them, that you understand them, but their motives are always hidden from you, buried in their own hearts. You will never know them, but sometimes you decide to trust them.”
