Novel Wisdom (3)

June 23, 2011 Read Comments

This post is part of a series on the blog where I share some of the nuggets of wisdom and inspiration — related to writing and/or life — that I find steeped in the pages of novels that I’ve read.

From Annah, the protagonist in the novel The Dark and Hollow Places by Carrie Ryan:

“Survivors aren’t always the strongest; sometimes they’re the smartest, but more often simply the luckiest.”

    Nice. And of course, Book Twin, I have this book on the top of my reading pile. I was going to start it last night, but I didn’t want to have zombie nightmares. :-)
