Life Quote by Neal Shusterman

“I hadn't lived a real life―I'd had just a model of a life. Everything I did, everything I thought , was suspended safely by strings, too high up for anyone to damage. Zero contact, zero risk. Now those strings had been cut and I was going to die, never having had a chance to live without them.” quote by Neal Shusterman — Download Open image
