"Her heart was a secret garden and the walls were very high." ― William Goldman, The Princess Bride
"Walls have ears. Doors have eyes. Trees have voices. Beasts tell lies. Beware the rain. Beware the snow. Beware the man You think you know. -Songs of Sapphique" ― Catherine Fisher, Incarceron
"Men build too many walls and not enough bridges." ― Joseph Fort Newton
"Even paradise could become a prison if one had enough time to take notice of the walls." ― Morgan Rhodes, Falling Kingdoms
"They want us to be afraid. They want us to be afraid of leaving our homes. They want us to barricade our doors and hide our children. Their aim is to make us fear life itself! They want us to hate. They want us to hate 'the other'. They want us to practice aggression and perfect antagonism. Their aim is to divide us all! They want us to be inhuman. They want us to throw out our kindness. They want us to bury our love and burn our hope. Their aim is to take all our light! They think their bricked walls will separate us. They think their damned bombs will defeat us. They are so ignorant they don't understand that my soul and your soul are old friends. They are so ignorant they don't understand that when they cut you I bleed. They are so ignorant they don't understand that we will never be afraid, we will never hate and we will never be silent for life is ours!" ― Kamand Kojouri
"Is that it?" "No. That's a wall." "It could be disguised." "You're not very good at looking for things, are you?" "I'm good at looking for walls. Look, I found another one." ― Derek Landy, Kingdom of the Wicked
"But love is much like a dam: if you allow a tiny crack to form through which only a trickle of water can pass, that trickle will quickly bring down the whole structure, and soon no one will be able to control the force of the current. For when those walls come down, then love takes over, and it no longer matters what is possible or impossible; it doesn't even matter whether we can keep the loved one at our side. To love is to lose control." ― Paulo Coelho, By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept
"Sometimes our walls exist just to see who has the strength to knock them down." ― Darnell Lamont Walker, Creep
"If there is a hard, high wall and an egg that breaks against it, no matter how right the wall or how wrong the egg, I will stand on the side of the egg. Why? Because each of us is an egg, a unique soul enclosed in a fragile egg. Each of us is confronting a high wall. The high wall is the system which forces us to do the things we would not ordinarily see fit to do as individuals . . . We are all human beings, individuals, fragile eggs. We have no hope against the wall: it's too high, too dark, too cold. To fight the wall, we must join our souls together for warmth, strength. We must not let the system control us -- create who we are. It is we who created the system. (Jerusalem Prize acceptance speech, JERUSALEM POST, Feb. 15, 2009)" ― Haruki Murakami
"We kissed each other until we were too tired to keep going. I could still feel him holding back. It was my penance for what I had done to him. All I could do was hope the walls would fall and that I could have all of him again, but I was always leaving and he was tired of watching me walk away. We both knew that I couldn't stay and that he couldn't come with me, but still, we couldn't let go." ― Kimberly Novosel, Loved
"We all build internal sea walls to keep at bay the sadnesses of life and the often overwhelming forces within our minds. In whatever way we do this—through love, work, family, faith, friends, denial, alcohol, drugs, or medication—we build these walls, stone by stone, over a lifetime. One of the most difficult problems is to construct these barriers of such a height and strength that one has a true harbor, a sanctuary away from crippling turmoil and pain, but yet low enough, and permeable enough, to let in fresh seawater that will fend off the inevitable inclination toward brackishness." ― Kay Redfield Jamison, An Unquiet Mind: A Memoir of Moods and Madness
"No boundary or barrier surrounds the heart of a person that loves their self and others." ― Shannon L. Alder
"We're exploring the possibility of building a wall to stem the exodus." "Don't be ridiculous," Goddard said. "Only idiots build walls." ― Neal Shusterman, The Toll
"What broke your heart so bad That you had to close every door, That you say you have a dark soul And can't utter the word 'love' anymore?" ― Sanhita Baruah
"There are four kinds of people in the world, Ms. Harper. Those who build walls. Those who protect walls. Those who breach walls. And those who tear down walls. Much of life is discovering who you are. When you find out, you also realize there are places you can no longer go, things you can no longer do, words you can no longer say." ― P.S. Baber, Cassie Draws the Universe
"[That wall] might be breached sometime in the future, but for now the only real conversation between them was the roots that had already grown low and deep, under the wall, where they could not be broken.
The most terrible thing, though, was the fear that the wall could never be breached, that in his heart Alai was glad of the separation, and was ready to be Ender's enemy. For now that they could not be together, they must be infinitely apart, and what had been sure and unshakable was now fragile and insubstantial; from the moment we are not together, Alai is a stranger, for he has a life now that will be no part of mine, and that means that when I see him we will not know each other." ― Orson Scott Card, Ender's Game
"Walls protect and walls limit. It is in the nature of walls that they should fall. That walls should fall is the consequence of blowing your own trumpet." ― Jeanette Winterson, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit
"You were born a winner, a warrior, one who defied the odds by surviving the most gruesome battle of them all - the race to the egg. And now that you are a giant, why do you even doubt victory against smaller numbers and wider margins? The only walls that exist are those you have placed in your mind. And whatever obstacles you conceive, exist only because you have forgotten what you have already achieved." ― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem
"Walls don't fall without effort." ― Neal Shusterman, Bruiser
"Hate isn't the opposite of love, apathy is. Hating doesn't free you from feeling anything. You have to carry it around, using every scar, every little memory like a building block. Like a stone in a wall, until you've created a new person, a new life that you can live with." ― Rasmenia Massoud, Broken Abroad
"BLACK AND WHITE
I was born into A religion of Light, But with so many other Religions and Philosophies, How do I know which ONE Is right?
Is it not My birthright To seek out the light? To find Truth After surveying all the proof, Am I supposed To love Or fight? And why do all those who Try to guide me, Always start by dividing And multiplying me – From what they consider Wrong or right? I thought, There were no walls For whoever beams truth and light. And how can one speak on Light's behalf, lf all they do Is act black, But talk WHITE?" ― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem
"I told him I had once lost everything I had, too, and that I think that can be God's way of building walls around us to force us to look up at Him." ― Kimberly Novosel, Loved
"We are fascinated, all of us, by the implacable otherness of others. And we wish to penetrate by hypothesis, by daydream, by scientific investigation those leaden walls that encase the human spirit, that define it and guard it and hold it forever inaccessible." ― Tim O'Brien, In the Lake of the Woods
"Walk straight ahead Listen to no one Trust not in the walls or doorways For they will mislead And close behind you As you walk through The forest, not knowing Where you've come from Or where you're going … If anywhere at all." ― Renée Paule, Just Around The Bend: Más o Menos
"We can't talk about it, or I know she won't so I don't even try, but it's what goes unsaid between people tat builds up like masonry. You have to either knock the bricks out with other things, or let them keep stacking until eventually you are alone in a room." ― Justin Taylor
"Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them." ― William Wordsworth
"Boundaries are not walls; they're portals and you decide who comes and goes into your sacred territory." ― Toni Sorenson
