Musing Monday

Musing Monday is a weekly meme hosted by MizB of Should be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do one of the following:

• Tell us what book(s) you recently bought for yourself or someone else, and why you chose that/those book(s).
• What book are you currently desperate to get your hands on? Tell us about it!
• Tell us what you’re reading right now — what you think of it, so far; why you chose it; what you are (or, aren’t) enjoying it.
• Do you have a bookish rant? Something about books or reading (or the industry) that gets your ire up? Share it with us!
• Instead of the above questions, maybe you just want to ramble on about something else pertaining to books — let’s hear it, then!

Today's musing is about a quote that I read in a recent book, The Girl with all the Gifts. That book was so good (click here to read review). This was one of those books where I kept highlighting different passages because there was so much that stood out to me.

Did a quote ever jump out at you so much that you just had to stop and think about it for a few minutes? This was one of the quotes that gave me pause:

"When your dream comes true, your true has moved."

I interpret that quote to mean that once you achieve one dream, you move on to another one. It is a quote that stands out to me in my own life. I am the type of person who always thinks once one dream is realized, I will finally be happy. But usually I just move on to the next dream. That is probably why that quote spoke to me so much.

I love writing that makes you think. That is the power of words. The great thing about this quote is that it could be interpreted in a variety of ways, depending on the reader.

How would you interpret that quote? Are there any quotes you have read in recent books that made you stop and think?
