The past weeks we have been writing some quotes. Made by different authors that we are going to discuss. The first five quotes were made by Shirley Jackson, some are from her actually and other were made by characters of her novel “We have always lived in a castle”. They were very deep, talking about life and how we see it, the perspective of it. In life we go through so much that we actually can relate with the characters of her novel. The other two are from an author that we are beginning to know. These quotes reflect on our lives and beliefs. We live in a world where we fall and we have to get up and ignore every single comment, we cannot care what other people think. Because that will cause that we don’t live enough.
