Quotables: Peony in Love

Thursday, April 26, 2012




Maybe it's a gift to experience emotions through our brushes, ink, and paper. 
I wrote out of sorrow, fear, and hate. 
You wrote out of desire, joy, and love. 
We each paid a heavy price for speaking our minds,
 for revealing our hearts, 
for trying to create, 
but it was worth it, 
wasn't it, daughter? 
- Lisa See, Peony in Love

  1. Peony In Love was my first attempt at listening to an audio book and it was so worth it! I would definitely recommend it! Thanks for sharing!

    1. I didn't listen to the audiobook but it is good to know that it is a good one for the future. Thanks!

  2. If you have not already read Snow Flower and the Secret Fan (same author) I would highly recommend listening to this one on audio!

    1. I am currently reading it, actually, but not on audio. That's a good one to remember, too, though, because often I "reread" books on audio.
