“I'm the type who'd be happy not going anywhere as long as I was sure I knew exactly what was happening at the places I wasn't going to.

“Nobody wants to admit to this, but bad things will keep on happening. Maybe that's beause it's all a chain, and a long time ago someone did the first bad thing, and that led someone else to do another bad thing, and so on. You know, like that game where you whisper a sentence into someone's ear, and that person whispers it to someone else, and it all comes out wrong in the end. But then again, maybe bad things happen because it's the only way we can keep remembering what good is supposed to look like.” KnowsWayWantFirstsLooksPersonsLongEndsHappensRememberGamesLong TimeHappeningsEarsSentencesThings HappenChainsBad ThingsLong Time AgoBad Things Happen Author:Jodi Picoult
“And little he knew of the things that ink may do, how it can mark a dead man's thought for the wonder of later years, and tell of happening that are gone clean away, and be a voice for us out of the dark of time, and save many a fragile thing from the pounding of heavy ages; or carry to us, over the rolling centuries, even a song from lips long dead on forgotten hills.” MenYearsMayLittlesLongAgeSongVoiceDarkWonderGoneCenturyHappeningsMarkCleanForgottenLipsHeavyHillsFragileRollingInkDead ManFragile Things Author:Lord Dunsany
“Really important meetings are planned by the souls long before the bodies see each other. Generally speaking, these meetings occur when we reach a limit, when we need to die and be reborn emotionally. These meetings are waiting for us, but more often than not, we avoid them happening. If we are desperate, though, if we have nothing to lose, or if we are full of enthusiasm for life, then the unknown reveals itself, and our universe changes direction.” IfsLoveNeedsLongImportantSoulBodyDiesUniverseWaitingLosesLimitsHappeningsMeetingsEnthusiasmDesperateHuman SoulRebornNothing To LoseEleven MinutesEnthusiasm For Life Author:Paulo Coelho

“Even though I didn't notice it while it was happening, I got reminded in ninth grade of a few things I guess I should have known all along. 1. A first kiss after five months means more than a first kiss after five minutes. 2. Always remember what it was like to be six. 3. Never, ever stop believing in magic, no matter how old you get. Because if you keep looking long enough and don't give up, sooner or later you're going to find Mary Poppins. And if you're reall lucky, maybe even a purple balloon.” IfsGivingShouldFirstsBelieveMeanLongMatterEnoughRememberKnownFiveMagicMinutesMonthsLuckyKissingGiving UpSixHappeningsShould HaveGradesMarySooner Or LaterFive MinutesPurpleDon't Give UpBalloonsFirst KissOld YouShould Have KnownNinth GradeMy Most Excellent Year Author:Steve Kluger
