| 0bd95b9 | Our faces were no more than ten inches apart but she was lightyears away from me. | Haruki Murakami | ||
| 0b5713c | My "Best Woman" speech Good evening everyone, my name is Rosie and as you can see Alex has decided to go down the non-traditional route of asking me to be his best woman for the day. Except we all know that today that title does not belong to me. It belongs to Sally, for she is clearly his best woman. I could call myself the "best friend" but I think we all know that today that title no longer refers to me either. That title too belongs to .. | Cecelia Ahern | ||
| bdde674 | for you can grieve your heart out and in the end you are still where you were. All your grief hasn't changed a thing. What you have lost will not be returned to you. It will always be lost. You're only left with your scars to mark the void. All you can choose to do is go on or not. | Charles Frazier | ||
| 33e7197 | Do you know,' he said again softly, addressing his hands, 'what it is to love someone, and never - never! - be able to give them peace, or joy, or happiness?' He looked up then, eyes filled with pain. 'To know that you cannot give them happiness, not through any fault of yours or theirs, but only because you were not born the right person for them? | right-person | Diana Gabaldon | |
| 29ce0ec | This is the land of Narnia,' said the Faun, 'where we are now; all that lies between the lamp-post and the great castle of Cair Paravel on the eastern sea. | wardrobe witch | C.S. Lewis | |
| 3b792d3 | You have a traitor there, Aslan," said the Witch. Of course everyone present knew that she meant Edmund. But Edmund had got past thinking about himself after all he'd been through and after the talk he'd had that morning. He just went on looking at Aslan. It didn't seem to matter what the Witch said." | C.S. Lewis | ||
| 93c72e9 | I am not so naive as to believe that this slim volume will change the course of history or shake the conscience of the world. Books no longer have the power they once did. Those who kept silent yesterday will remain silent tomorrow. | Elie Wiesel | ||
| 35ae358 | The autumn leaves blew over the moonlit pavement in such a way as to make the girl who was moving there seem fixed to a sliding walk, letting the motion of the wind and the leaves carry her forward. [...] The trees overhead made a great sound of letting down their dry rain. | imagery fall | Ray Bradbury | |
| 60ddb2d | How is it possible to hold such anger against something you don't believe in? | Francine Rivers | ||
| 321d56e | Helped are those who are content to be themselves; they will never lack mystery in their lives and the joys of self-discovery will be constant. | Alice Walker | ||
| d40354a | I am still raw. I say I may be back. You know what lies are for. Even in your Zen heaven we shan't meet. | Sylvia Plath | ||
| 3c7faa7 | I woke to the sound of rain. | rain subtle simple | Sylvia Plath | |
| e8efcb4 | Only write to me, write to me, I love to see the hop and skip and sudden starts of your ink. | words | A.S. Byatt | |
| 4529292 | Weddings have always been a fascinating thing to me. A time when people look in each others eyes and promise each other they will never allow anyone or anything to divide them. Out of two families, they come together to form a separate branch that links back to their roots. It's a time when two families are joined together because of the hearts of two people. A time when ill will and bad feelings should be put to rest along with the past. W.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 7bb630a | Your destiny is shaped by choice, never by chance. Beware the decisions you make, no matter how small, for they will be your salvation...or your death. | invincible | Sherrilyn Kenyon | |
| 541b054 | I screwed up. Again. You're shocked, I'm sure. | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 092df7a | You're my life now and I will do anything to protect you. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| b2fb53d | Isabella Swan?" He looked up at me through his impossibly long lashes, his golden eyes soft but, somehow, still scorching. "I promise to love you forever--every single day of forever. Will you marry me?" There were many things I wanted to say, some of them not nice at all, and others more disgustingly gooey and romantic than he probably dreamed I was capable of. Rather than embarrass myself with either, I whispered, "Yes." "Thank you," he s.. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| 000edd4 | In a nervous and slender-leaved mimosa grove at the back of their villa we found a perch on the ruins of a low stone wall. She trembled and twitched as I kissed the corner of her parted lips and the hot lobe of her ear. A cluster of stars palely glowed above us between the silhouettes of long thin leaves; that vibrant sky seemed as naked as she was under her light frock. I saw her face in the sky, strangely distinct, as if it emitted a fain.. | nabokov | Vladimir Nabokov | |
| 21d84d4 | The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness. Although the two are identical twins, man, as a rule, views the prenatal abyss with more calm than the one he is heading for (at some forty-five hundred heartbeats an hour). I know, however, of a young chronophobiac who experienced something like panic when looking for the first time at homemade mov.. | Vladimir Nabokov | ||
| 2c96a78 | You get your intuition back when you make space for it, when you stop the chattering of the rational mind. The rational mind doesn't nourish you. You assume that it gives you the truth, because the rational mind is the golden calf that this culture worships, but this is not true. Rationality squeezes out much that is rich and juicy and fascinating. | Anne Lamott | ||
| 28f7c0f | I wish I could turn back time, but I can't. I made a stupid decision because I thought I was invincible, and I'll pay for it the rest of my life. | Simone Elkeles | ||
| 7f91667 | I don't want you to love me. - Too late, mi chava. | Simone Elkeles | ||

| 8870862 | No sooner met but they looked; no sooner looked but they loved; no sooner loved but they sighed; no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason; no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy; and in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage... | true-love | William Shakespeare | |
| 2811934 | To bait fish withal: if it will feed nothing else, it will feed my revenge. He hath disgraced me, and hindered me half a million; laughed at my losses, mocked at my gains, scorned my nation, thwarted my bargains, cooled my friends, heated mine enemies; and what's his reason? I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? hath not a Jew hands, organs,dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject t.. | William Shakespeare | ||
| 8a7df2d | Petruchio: Come, come, you wasp; i' faith, you are too angry. Katherine: If I be waspish, best beware my sting. Petruchio: My remedy is then, to pluck it out. Katherine: Ay, if the fool could find where it lies. Petruchio: Who knows not where a wasp does wear his sting? In his tail. Katherine: In his tongue. Petruchio: Whose tongue? Katherine: Yours, if you talk of tails: and so farewell. Petruchio: What, with my tongue in your tail? Nay, c.. | William Shakespeare | ||

| 8001bf2 | That's more than three questions, Max. And sometimes wheter someone is your friend or enemy is all in how you look at it. But if you must know, I consider myself your friend, a good friend who loves you very much. No one Loves you more than I do, Maximum. Now listen. I ask the questions here, not you. You're just here for the ride. For the incredible, indescribable Maximum Ride. | James Patterson | ||
| b121750 | Look, America is no more a democracy than Russia is a Communist state. The governments of the U.S. and Russia are practically the same. There's only a difference of degree. We both have the same basic form of government: economic totalitarianism. In other words, the settlement to all questions, the solutions to all issues are determined not by what will make the people most healthy and happy in the bodies and their minds but by economics. D.. | economics capitalism | Tom Robbins | |
| 206bdac | To live fully, one must be free, but to be free one must give up security. Therefore, to live one must be ready to die. How's that for a paradox? | Tom Robbins | ||
| 98242f1 | I felt the taste of mortality in my mouth, and at that moment I understood that I was not going to live forever. It takes a long time to learn that, but when you finally do, everything changes inside you, you can never be the same again. I was seventeen years old, and all of a sudden, without the slightest flicker of a doubt, I understood that my life was my own, that it belonged to me and no one else. I'm talking about freedom, Fogg. A sen.. | self-determination freedom life philosophy | Paul Auster | |

| 3b1169a | Frankness is not a license to say anything you want, wherever and whenever you want. It is not rudeness. | Rick Warren | ||
| 25cae72 | We fear discovering that we are more than we think we are. More than our parents/children/teachers think we are. We fear that we actually possess the talent that our still, small voice tells us. That we actually have the guts, the perseverance, the capacity. We fear that we truly can steer our ship, plant our flag, reach our Promised Land. We fear this because, if it's true, then we become estranged from all we know. We pass through a membr.. | inspirational | Steven Pressfield | |
| ce15137 | And a beautiful world we live in, when it is possible, and when many other such things are possible, and not only possible, but done-- done, see you!-- under that sky there, every day. | dark inspirational defarge ironic angry | Charles Dickens | |
| e29c4b9 | I had considered how the things that never happen, are often as much realities to us, in their effects, as those that are accomplished. | Charles Dickens (David Copperfield) | ||

| 6554391 | It's not that you don't have the capacity to accept the truth. You don't want to accept it, and you hide behind your own logic and intelligence while the truth marches by. Step out and join it, for goodness'' sake! Shout it out in full step! I believe! | Ted Dekker | ||
