Most Popular Highlighted Kindle Passages In THE INFECTION

August 26, 2011 by Craig DiLouie 1 Comment

the infection by craig dilouieAmazon.com identifies the most frequently highlighted passages in its Kindle books. Here are the most popular in THE INFECTION.

“In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is not king. He is not king because nobody recognizes him as king. The others do not even know he is there.”

“We try to live with as little pain and as much pleasure as possible. But pain makes us realize we are alive. We truly live one moment to the next when we live with pain. When pain stops, we become afraid. And we remember things we do not wish to remember that are themselves painful.”

“How would you solve for x? Answer: You try to kill it.”

“There is no honor in survival, but life goes on and life is everything. Nothing else matters. And anybody who thinks differently is a fool—a fool who probably won’t live very long.”

“Living your life like a defective CD eternally skipping during your favorite song is not living.”

“The funny thing about the story of Job is that Job never questioned Satan. In Hebrew, Satan has two meanings. One is the Adversary. The other is ha-Satan, the Accuser. In either case, he is an Angel of the Lord. Maybe Job did not question Satan because he did not have to do so. If God is everything, he is also Satan. The Adversary. The Accuser. Creator of Heaven and Earth.”

“‘There is a path to the top of even the highest mountain,’ he exclaimed, quoting an Afghan proverb.”

“I wonder how much time we spend each day doing things and not actually knowing we’re alive.”

“The Infected. They’re pretty much the living dead. But us? We’re the dead living.”

“What was it the preacher was always saying? The earth abides. The earth, in other words, does not give a shit.”

    My personal favorite was one that is listed here:

    “I wonder how much time we spend each day doing things and not actually knowing we’re alive.”

    I remember when I read that sentence in the book, I paused and read it over and over again. I think I’ve become a bit more aware of what I AM doing and appreciate the fact that I CAN still do things. Yep, I’m alive!
