| 8c005b7 | My parents died a long time ago. And you know the sad thing? I still miss them every day. I spent my entire youth fighting with my dad over every little thing and damned if I wouldn't sell my soul to see him one more time and tell him I was sorry for the last words I said to him. Words I can never take back that should have never been said. So call your mom. No matter what kind of relationship you have with your parents, I swear to you, you.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 58f8db3 | How did you learn to stop crying? (Leta) I nailed my heart shut and learned to stop caring about anyone except me. They can't make you cry when you don't give a shit about them or their opinions. You can only be hurt by the ones you love. (Aiden) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| ec3f8a0 | NO!" She shouted through my lips. Jared caught her hands, then caught me against the wall before I could fall. I sagged, my body confused by the conflicting directions it was receiving. "Mel? Mel!" "What are you doing?" He groaned in relief. "I knew you could do it! Ah Mel!" He kissed her again, kissed the lips that she controlled, and we could both taste the tears that ran down his face. She bit him. Jared jumped back from both of us, and.. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| c7aa32a | You really should stay away from me. | edward-cullen vampire | Stephenie Meyer | |
| 4d5d3fa | Isn't it supposed to be like this?" He smiled. "The glory of first love, and all that. It's incredible, isn't it, the difference between reading about something, seeing it in the pictures, and experiencing it?" "Very different," I agreed. "More forceful than I'd imagined." | edward-cullen first-love twilight | Stephenie Meyer | |

| 9c6270b | It contributes greatly towards a man's moral and intellectual health, to be brought into habits of companionship with individuals unlike himself, who care little for his pursuits, and whose sphere and abilities he must go out of himself to appreciate. | Nathaniel Hawthorne | ||
| 9717b42 | In all her intercourse with society, however, there was nothing that made her feel as if she belonged to it... She stood apart from mortal interests, yet close beside them, like a ghost that revisits the familiar fireside, and can no longer make itself seen or felt. | solitude society | Nathaniel Hawthorne | |
| f17a79e | S]he believed that the Buddhists were right-that if you want, you will suffer; if you love, you will grieve. (68) | want grief suffering love buddhism desire | Anne Lamott | |
| 33ba8e1 | And then it occurs to me. They are frightened. In me, they see their own daughters, just as ignorant, just as unmindful of all the truths and hopes they have brought to America. They see daughters who grow impatient when their mothers talk in Chinese, who think they are stupid when they explain things in fractured English. They see that joy and luck do not mean the same to their daughters, that to these closed American-born minds "joy luck".. | women joy fear family hope concepts daughters heritage mothers immigration language perception ideas tradition luck | Amy Tan | |
| 9dc48e6 | When Alex leaves a little later, Carlos steps forward. "Need help?" I shake my head. "Are you ever gonna talk to me again? Dammit, Kiara, enough with the silent treatment. I'd rather have you say your little two-word sentences than stop talkin' altogether. Hell, just flip me off again." I toss my backpack in the backseat and start the engine. "Where are you goin'?" Carlos asks, stepping in front of my car. I beep. "I'm not movin'," he says... | Simone Elkeles | ||
| 14eda66 | Alex and Carlos--the tag team from hell. They're the last people I need shit from right now. If they decide to trail me, too, I'll have an entire entourage. "I'm fine." "Then sit up and talk to us." "Okay, in that case I'm not fine. Go away." I moan. "Unless you want me to puke all over you." | Simone Elkeles | ||

| d7718b5 | I want to kiss him for the rest of the night, for the rest of our lives. The one. | lola the-one | Stephanie Perkins | |
| cc9f606 | He stares at his hands. Whatever word he wrote there, its been crossed off. There's only a black box. "Lola, you were the only person I wanted there that night. I was crazy about you, but I didn't know what to do. It was paralyzing. There were so many times when I wanted to take your hand, but...I couldn't. That one small move felt impossible." Now I'm staring at my hands, too. "I would have let you take it." "I know." His voice croaks." | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| 417b744 | You only are free when you realize you belong no place -- you belong every place -- no place at all. | Maya Angelou | ||
| 89ebb50 | A story went the rounds about a San Franciscan white matron who refused to sit beside a Negro civilian on the streetcar, even after he made room for her on the seat. Her explanation was that she would not sit beside a draft dodger who was a Negro as well. She added that the least he could do was fight for his country the way her son was fighting on Iwo Jima. The story said that the man pulled his body away from the window to show an armless.. | Maya Angelou | ||
| 23cc4fe | Amazing Peace: A Christmas Poem Thunder rumbles in the mountain passes And lightning rattles the eaves of our houses. Flood waters await us in our avenues. Snow falls upon snow, falls upon snow to avalanche Over unprotected villages. The sky slips low and grey and threatening. We question ourselves. What have we done to so affront nature? We worry God. Are you there? Are you there really? Does the covenant you made with us still hold? Into .. | Maya Angelou | ||
| fda6637 | I have lost the faculty of enjoying their destruction, and I am too idle to destroy for nothing. | heathcliff | Emily Brontë | |

| a67204c | Don't grumble! Don't stew! Some critters are much-much, | Dr. Seuss | ||
| f40e768 | Philosophers have argued for centuries about how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, but materialists have known all along that it depends on whether they are jitterbugging or dancing cheek to cheek. | Tom Robbins | ||
| 6fee478 | Vulnerability is not weakness, and the uncertainty, risk, and emotional exposure we face every day are not optional. Our only choice is a question of engagement. Our willingness to own and engage with our vulnerability determines the depth of our courage and the clarity of our purpose; the level to which we protect ourselves from being vulnerable is a measure of our fear and disconnection. | inspirational | Brené Brown | |
| eaad675 | Nothing has transformed my life more than realizing that it's a waste of time to evaluate my worthiness by weighing the reaction of the people in the stands. | Brené Brown | ||
| a1f9b66 | His love for my mother wasn't about looking back and loving something that would never change. It was about loving my mother for everything -- for her brokenness and her fleeing, for her being there right then in that moment before the sun rose and the hospital staff came in. It was about touching that hair with the side of his fingertip, and knowing yet plumbing fearlessly the depths of her ocean eyes. | Alice Sebold | ||
| 4e16352 | Now I am in the place I call this wide wide Heaven because it includes all my simplest desires but also the most humble and grand. The word my grandfather uses is comfort. So there are cakes and pillows and colors galore, but underneath this more obvious patchwork quilt are places like a quiet room where you can go and hold someone's hand and not have to say anything. Give no story. Make no claim. Where you can live at the edge of your skin.. | Alice Sebold | ||
| 8fe3973 | Why, if there is anything in supply and demand, life is the cheapest thing in the world. There is only so much water, so much earth, so much air; but the life that is demanding to be born is limitless. Nature is a spendthrift. Look at the fish and their millions of eggs. For that matter, look at you and me. In our loins are the possibilities of millions of lives. Could we but find time and opportunity and utilize the last bit and every bit .. | Jack London | ||
| a9216e0 | This is America. People do whatever the fuck they feel like doing, you got a problem with that? Because they have a right to. And because they have guns and no one can fucking stop them. | Neal Stephenson | ||
| c627b4c | You cannot find peace by avoiding life, Leonard. | Michael Cunningham | ||

| f3b2b7e | I'm so great even I get tongue-tied talking to myself. | Douglas Adams | ||
| 3dfb0dd | The power of a bold idea uttered publicly in defiance of dominant opinion cannot be easily measured. Those special people who speak out in such a way as to shake up not only the self-assurance of their enemies, but the complacency of their friends, are precious catalysts for change. | history change opposition self-assurance defiance | Howard Zinn | |
| 3977457 | In the long run, the oppressor is also a victim. In the short run (and so far, human history has consisted only of short runs), the victims, themselves desperate and tainted with the culture that oppresses them, turn on other victims. | Howard Zinn | ||
| 1d1d4bc | If there is something comforting - religious, if you want - about paranoia, there is still also anti-paranoia, where nothing is connected to anything, a condition not many of us can bear for long. | Thomas Pynchon | ||

| 9422a02 | Then you came along and helped me believe in myself again. | Nicholas Sparks | ||
| 3304874 | I suddenly understood that even love and caring weren't always enough. They were the concrete bricks of our relationship, but unstable without the mortar of time spent together, time without the threat of imminent separation hanging over us. | Nicholas Sparks |
