All Canadian all the time!!!!!!

These quotes are taken from the books of White Pine 2008. For those who don't know, it's a high school reading program. All the books read are written by Canadian authors. It's only from 2 different books but I kind of lost the other ones. :( Just so you know, there are some quotes here that I don't really agree with but I thought they gave a pretty good insight to a certain character or the general idea of the story. Some of them are humorous and some are deep but all are Canadian!

There are stories in our silences;
The things that don't get said
Speak louder than we ever dream they can.
They echo through the space between;
The place I long to be
And this never-ending empty where I am.
~Leah Delaney (The Space Between; pg.169)

I want you to write something that is true, something that expresses who you really are. No holds barred. Spill it right out. Hold nothing back. Write something that comes from deep within you and expresses your inner truth. That is what language is for.

To the winner go the spoils. Then or now. Pretty much the same deal. History repeats itself because human nature stays the same.
~The End of the World As We Know It; pg.48

Though thou shouldst be going to live three thousand years, still remember that no man loses any other life than this which he now lives, nor lives any other than this which he now loses. The longest and the shortest are thus brought to the same. For the present is the same to all.
