Given his lifetime assignment at the Ceremony of Twelve, Jonas becomes the receiver of memories shared by only one other in his community and discovers the terrible truth about the society in which he lives.

The Giver

I’m only in the introduction of this book and I’m already making “highlights”

Baylea Fancher

A book, to me, is almost sacrosanct: such an individual and private thing. The reader brings his or her own history and beliefs and concerns, and reads in solitude, creating each scene from his own imagination as he does. 

We don’t dare let people make choices of their own…. “What if they were allowed to choose their own mate? And chose wrong?… or what if they chose their own jobs?…. I can’t even imagine it. We really have to protect people from wrong choices.

Angelica Garcia

The worst part of holding the memories is not the pain. It’s the loneliness of it. Memories need to be shared.
