| a770da1 | I waited for him to say something more, but he was quiet. "Was there something you wanted?" I asked. He didn't answer right away, but I could feel him struggling, so I waited. "If I asked you something, would you tell me the truth?" It was my turn to hesitate. "I don't know everything," I hedged. "You would know this. When we were walking... me and Jeb... he was telling me some things. Things he thought, but I don't know if he's right." Mel.. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| 1aa5e44 | Curiously enough, one cannot read a book; one can only reread it. A good reader, a major reader, and active and creative reader is a rereader. | Vladimir Nabokov | ||
| afa40af | Not only do we live among the stars, the stars live within us. | Neil deGrasse Tyson | ||
| 8af1c3d | Those mornings when we kiss and surrender for an hour before we say a single word. | dictionary kiss love | David Levithan | |
| 55f7373 | A year. A thousand kisses. And now a thousand one, a thousand two. There are so many other place we could have ended up, but I have to believe none of them would have felt this right. "All I want is you" is not entirely true. I want so much more, and with you I think I can get it." | realm-of-possibility | David Levithan | |
| db8fc77 | My point is that I am going to figure this out, like I always do. First, we're going to find a way to get into Artemisia. We're going to find Cress and rescue Cinder and Wolf. We're going to overthrow Levana, and by the stars above, we are going to make Cinder a queen so she can pay us a lot of money from her royal coffers and we can all retire very rich and very alive, got it?" Winter started to clap. "Brilliant speech. Such gumption and b.. | humour iko scarlet-benoit winter-hayle-blackburn | Marissa Meyer | |

| f5dc1a3 | I was supposed to be waiting up here when you got back, only your Phoenix lot got in the way..." "Yes, they do that," said Dumbledore." -- | humor malfoy order-of-the-phoenix sarcasm | J.K. Rowling | |
| 89f7f14 | Think of it this way: There are two kinds of failure. The first comes from never trying out your ideas because you are afraid, or because you are waiting for the perfect time. This kind of failure you can never learn from, and such timidity will destroy you. The second kind comes from a bold and venturesome spirit. If you fail in this way, the hit that you take to your reputation is greatly outweighed by what you learn. Repeated failure wil.. | Robert Greene | ||

| bb7717d | It is safe to tell the pure in heart that they shall see God, for only the pure in heart want to. | C.S. Lewis | ||
| dfe55e2 | I tried the key in all the doors, even though he said he didn't recognize it. It's not that I didn't trust him, becuase I did. It's that at the end of my search I wanted to be able to say: I don't know how I could have tried harder. | Jonathan Safran Foer | ||
| f70db6a | There is nothing more notable in than that he found time, when he was an old man, to learn music and dancing, and thought it time well spent. | lifelong-learning philosophy socrates | Michel de Montaigne | |
| fbadf50 | I'll bet you anything you like that half an hour after they have met, they will be calling each other sister. Women only do that when they have called each other a lot of other things first. | Oscar Wilde | ||
| a6ffb34 | Every woman is a rebel, and usually in wild revolt against herself. | Oscar Wilde | ||

| 76465d1 | God, he even knew their names. Rhage. Phury. And that scary-ass Zsadist guy. Yeah, no Tom, Dick, and Harry names for the vampire types. But come on, could you actually imagine some lethal bloodsucker named Howard? Eugene? | dark-lover | J.R. Ward | |
| c30bd0f | God made mud. God got lonesome. So God said to some of the mud, "Sit up!" "See all I've made," said God, "the hills, the sea, the sky, the stars." And I was some of the mud that got to sit up and look around. Lucky me, lucky mud. I, mud, sat up and saw what a nice job God had done. Nice going, God. Nobody but you could have done it, God! I certainly couldn't have. I feel very unimportant compared to You. The only way I can feel the least bi.. | Kurt Vonnegut | ||
| 7d29ce5 | You can't just make yourself matter and then die, Alaska, because now I am irretrievably different, and I'm sorry I let you go, yes, but you made the choice. You left me Perhapsless, stuck in your goddamned labyrinth. And now I don't even know if you chose the straight and fast way out, if you left me like this on purpose. And so I never knew you, did I? I can't remember, because I never knew. | looking-for-alaska perhaps | John Green | |
| 38b7af6 | I'll be your minister--" "Of the exchequer? You'd rob me blind." "I would never steal from you," he'd said hotly. "Oh? Where is my tourmaline necklace? Where are my missing earrings?" "That necklace was hideous. It was the only way to keep you from wearing it." "My earrings?" "What earrings?" | Megan Whalen Turner | ||

| 1fd41d4 | Oh, by the way..." Jason glanced at Percy. "I resigned my office, gave Frank a field promotion to praetor. Unless you want to contest that ruling." Percy grinned. "No argument here." "Praetor?" Hazel stared at Frank. He shrugged uncomfortably. "Well... yeah. I know it seems weird." She tried to throw her arms around him, then winced as she remembered her busted ribs. She settled for kissing him. "It seems perfect." Leo clapped Frank on .. | jason-grace leo-valdez percy-jackson | Rick Riordan | |

| 463aa4c | Let us again pretend that life is a solid substance, shaped like a globe, which we turn about in our fingers. Let us pretend that we can make out a plain and logical story, so that when one matter is despatched--love for instance--we go on, in an orderly manner, to the next. | Virginia Woolf | ||
| c68e385 | Love is the one thing stronger than desire and the only proper reason to resist temptation. | Jeanette Winterson | ||
| 2e1c3d7 | If the day and the night are such that you greet them with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, is more elastic, more starry, more immortal- that is your success. All nature is your congratulation, and you have cause momentarily to bless yourself. The greatest gains and values are farthest from being appreciated. We easily come to doubt if they exist. We soon forget them. They are the highest reality. Perhap.. | Henry David Thoreau | ||

| 38e7c66 | That was when they noticed that every musician on the stage was wearing mourning black. That was when they shut up. And when the conductor raised his arms, it was not a symphony that filled the cavernous space. It was the Song of Eyllwe. Then Song of Fenharrow. And Melisande. And Terrasen. Each nation that had people in those labour camps. And finally, not for pomp or triumph, but to mourn what they had become, they played the Song of Adarl.. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| bd0c71a | On my fifth trip to France I limited myself to the words and phrases that people actually use. From the dog owners I learned "Lie down," "Shut up," and "Who shit on this carpet?" The couple across the road taught me to ask questions correctly, and the grocer taught me to count. Things began to come together, and I went from speaking like an evil baby to speaking like a hillbilly. "Is thems the thoughts of cows?" I'd ask the butcher, pointin.. | David Sedaris | ||
| 9df33bf | Tell a devout Christian that his wife is cheating on him, or that frozen yogurt can make a man invisible, and he is likely to require as much evidence as anyone else, and to be persuaded only to the extent that you give it. Tell him that the book he keeps by his bed was written by an invisible deity who will punish him with fire for eternity if he fails to accept its every incredible claim about the universe, and he seems to require no evid.. | evidence reason skepticism | Sam Harris | |

| 3661bdc | To be able to forget means sanity. | forgetting sanity | Jack London | |
| e6ddc9f | A love story can never be about full possession. The happy marriage, the requited love, the desire that never dims--these are lucky eventualites but they aren't love stories. Love stories depend on disappointment, on unequal births and feuding families, on matrimonial boredom and at least one cold heart. Love stories, nearly without exception, give love a bad name. We value love not because it's stronger than death but because it's weaker. .. | Jeffrey Eugenides | ||
| 6a88b3a | There is no forgiveness. For women. A man may lose his honor and regain it again. But a woman cannot. She cannot. | honor men women | Cormac McCarthy | |

| bbd8703 | Summer, and he watches his children's heart break. Autumn again and Boo's children needed him. Atticus was right. One time he said you never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them. Just standing on the Radley porch was enough. | Harper Lee | ||
