Jonathan Hull

‎"It is said that life is too short, and that’s quite true, unless you are lonely. Loneliness can bring time to its knees; an absolute and utter standstill."

Jonathan Hull (Losing Julia)

ML King

'The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy...'

ML King

Libba Bray

"You can never really know someone completely. That’s why it’s the most terrifying thing in the world, really—taking someone on faith, hoping they’ll take you on faith too. It’s such a precarious balance, it’s a wonder we do it at all ...."

Libba Bray

Jodi Picoult

"The truth doesn't always set you free; people prefer to believe prettier, neatley wrapped lies ... "

Jodi Picoult (Keeping Faith)

C.S. Lewis

"If you look for truth, you may find comfort in the end; if you look for comfort you will not get either comfort or truth only soft soap and wishful thinking to begin, and in the end, despair."

Gloria Steinem

"The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off."

Gloria Steinem

Jodi Picoult

"In the space between yes and no, there's a lifetime. It's the difference between the path you walk and the one you leave behind; it's the gap between who you thought you could be and who you really are; its the legroom for the lies you'll tell yourself in the future."

Jodi Picoult

Max Lucado

"A book should be a garden that fits in the hands. Word-petals of color. Stems of strength. Roots of truth. Turn a page and turn the seasons. Read the sentence and enjoy the roses. "

Max Lucado

"Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.”

“People think it must be fun to be a super genius, but they don't realize how hard it is to put up with all the idiots in the world.”

“We're so busy watching out for what's just ahead of us that we don't take time to enjoy where we are.”

"Life's disappointments are harder to take when you don't know any swear words.”

“Promise me you'll never forget me because if I thought you would I'd never leave.”

"Life is never easy for those who dream.”

“Don't be pushed by your problems. Be led by your dreams.”

"Dreams are illustrations... from the book your soul is writing about you.”

“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”

“History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction.”

“Life is like topography, Hobbes. There are summits of happiness and success, flat stretches of boring routine, and valleys of frustration and failure.”

Jude Deveraux

Penelope J. Stokes

"Because our hearts are unprepared for truth, we cling to the deception as a shipwreck victim on a storm-tossed sea will grab at anything that floats. But the splintered rubble of our broken trust - those temporary buoys of our shattered dreams - betray us, gouging rough gashes into our souls, drawing our blood and leaving us to sink."

Penelope J. Stokes

Candice Bergen

I used to believe that marriage would diminish me, reduce my options. That you had to be someone less to live with someone else when, of course, you have to be someone more.

Candice Bergen

Winston Churchill

"Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened."

Winston Churchill

Terry Pratchett

"The truth may be out there, but the lies are inside your head."
