| 20c806b | I discover myself on the verge of a usual mistake. | Walt Whitman | ||
| ca1c3ff | Because to influence a person is to give him one's own soul. He does not think his natural thoughts, or burn with his natural passions. His virtues are not real to him. His sins, if there are such things as sins, are borrowed. He becomes an echo of some one else's music, an actor of a part that has not been written for him. The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly -- that is what each of us is here for. People .. | Oscar Wilde | ||
| 2bea943 | Enter, stranger, but take heed Of what awaits the sin of greed, For those who take, but do not earn, Must pay most dearly in their turn. So if you seek beneath our floors A treasure that was never yours, Thief, you have been warned, beware Of finding more than treasure there. | warning thieves stealing | J.K. Rowling | |

| e66f501 | There is such a place as fairyland - but only children can find the way to it. And they do not know that it is fairyland until they have grown so old that they forget the way. One bitter day, when they seek it and cannot find it, they realize what they have lost; and that is the tragedy of life. On that day the gates of Eden are shut behind them and the age of gold is over. Henceforth they must dwell in the common light of common day. Only .. | writing storygirl | L.M. Montgomery | |

| 3e84982 | It was November--the month of crimson sunsets, parting birds, deep, sad hymns of the sea, passionate wind-songs in the pines. Anne roamed through the pineland alleys in the park and, as she said, let that great sweeping wind blow the fogs out of her soul. | L. M. Montgomery | ||
| b4c1fac | There is no reality except the one contained within us. That is why so many people live such an unreal life. They take the images outside of them for reality and never allow the world within to assert itself. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 4b05599 | As for Celaena," he said again, "you do not have the right to wish she were not what she is. The only thing you have a right to do is decide whether you are her enemy or her friend." | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 38c750a | It's sarcasm, Josh." "Sarcasm?" "It's from the Greek, sarkasmos. To bite the lips. It means that you aren't really saying what you mean, but people will get your point. I invented it, Bartholomew named it." "Well, if the village idiot named it, I'm sure it's a good thing." "There you go, you got it." "Got what?" "Sarcasm." "No, I meant it." "Sure you did." "Is that sarcasm?" "Irony, I think." "What's the difference?" "I haven't the slightes.. | irony sarcasm | Christopher Moore | |
| c2dfc75 | Tonight, darling, we are going to right a lot of wrongs. And we are going to wrong some rights. The first shall be last; the last shall be first; the meek shall do some earth-inheriting. But before we can radically reshape the world, we need to shop. | margo paper-towns | John Green | |
| e2928bd | Hello, Minister!" bellowed Percy, sending a neat jinx straight at Thicknesse, who dropped his wand and clawed at the front of his robes, apparently in awful discomfort. "Did I mention I'm resigning?" | percy-weasley | J.K. Rowling | |
| 3f94cd6 | The best way to measure how much you've grown isn't by inches or the number of laps you can now run around the track, or even your grade point average-- though those things are important, to be sure. It's what you've done with your time, how you've chosen to spend your days, and whom you've touched this year. That, to me, is the greatest measure of success. | inspirational | R.J. Palacio | |
| 6e7d9b6 | Down on the lake rosy reflections of celestial vapor appeared, and I said, "God, I love you" and looked to the sky and really meant it. "I have fallen in love with you, God. Take care of us all, one way or the other." To the children and the innocent it's all the same. | god spiritual love inspirational | Jack Kerouac | |
| 5da7016 | And did you get what you wanted from this life, even so? I did. And what did you want? To call myself beloved, to feel myself beloved on the earth. | poetry | Raymond Carver | |
| f1ebe01 | Everybody says sex is obscene. The only true obscenity is war. | Henry Miller | ||
| 405c676 | Anne laughed. "I don't want sunbursts or marble halls, I just want you." | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 8ef5395 | Your aunt and uncle will be proud, though, won't they?" said Hermione as they got off the train and joined the crowd thronging toward the enchanted barrier. "When they hear what you did this year?" "Proud?" said Harry. "Are you crazy? All those times I could've died, and I didn't manage it? They'll be furious..." | J.K Rowling | ||
| fb360cc | Darling, when things go wrong in life, you lift your chin, put on a ravishing smile, mix yourself a little cocktail... | humour inspirational lifestyle women-s-strength | Sophie Kinsella | |
| 5d5961f | I think that most of us, anyway, read these stories that we know are not "true" because we're hungry for another kind of truth: the mythic truth about human nature in general, the particular truth about those life-communities that define our own identity, and the most specific truth of all: our own self-story. Fiction, because it is not about someone who lived in the real world, always has the possibility of being about oneself. --From the .. | Orson Scott Card | ||

| 0465b60 | Don't laugh at the spinsters, dear girls, for often very tender, tragic romances are hidden away in the hearts that beat so quietly under the sober gowns, and many silent sacrifices of youth, health, ambition, love itself, make the faded faces beautiful in God's sight. Even the sad, sour sisters should be kindly dealt with, because they have missed the sweetest part of life, if for no other reason. | women | Louisa May Alcott | |
| f937ecb | She was a stranger now, but she'd been a friend once, and that was enough for him. | Nicholas Sparks | ||
| f59b32d | Men don't settle down because of the right woman. They settle down because they are finally ready for it. Whatever woman they're dating when they get ready is the one they settle down with, not necessarily the best one or the prettiest, just the one who happened to be on hand when the time got to be right. Unromantic, but still true. | men | Laurell K. Hamilton | |

| 784ac35 | Love is a striking example of how little reality means to us. | Marcel Proust | ||
| 5716e8c | Love is where you find it. I think it is foolish to go around looking for it, and I think it can be poisonous. I wish that people who are conventionally supposed to love each other would say to each other, when they fight, 'Please -- a little less love, and a little more common decency'. | humor love respect | Kurt Vonnegut | |
| 18152c3 | Although I'm only fourteen, I know quite well what I want, I know who is right and who is wrong. I have my opinions, my own ideas and principles, and although it may sound pretty mad from an adolescent, I feel more of a person than a child, I feel quite indepedent of anyone. | hope inspirational wise | Anne Frank | |
| f56e3d3 | We don't realize that, somewhere within us all, there does exist a supreme self who is eternally at peace. | self | Elizabeth Gilbert | |
| 2cac095 | O Me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; Of the endless trains of the faithless--of cities fill'd with the foolish; Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?) Of eyes that vainly crave the light--of the objects mean--of the struggle ever renew'd; Of the poor results of all--of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me; Of the empty and useless years of the rest--with t.. | poetry meaning | Walt Whitman | |
| 4c67156 | I love you" I say. "I love you, too" he says. "I'll see you soon." | love tris | Veronica Roth | |
| 4aa8284 | The highly sensitive [introverted] tend to be philosophical or spiritual in their orientation, rather than materialistic or hedonistic. They dislike small talk. They often describe themselves as creative or intuitive. They dream vividly, and can often recall their dreams the next day. They love music, nature, art, physical beauty. They feel exceptionally strong emotions--sometimes acute bouts of joy, but also sorrow, melancholy, and fear. H.. | Susan Cain |
