Martin Luther King Jr

"Let no man pull you low enough to hate him."

Martin Luther King Jr.

Sarah Dessen

"Some people, they can't just move on, you know, mourn and cry and be done with it. Or at least seem to be. But for me... I don't know. I didn't want to fix it, to forget. It wasn't something that was broken. It's just...something that happened. And like that hole, I'm just finding ways, every day, of working around it. Respecting and remembering and getting on at the same time. "

Sarah Dessen (The Truth About Forever)

Mark Twain

"The trouble is not in dying for a friend, but in finding a friend worth dying for."

Mark Twain

Anaïs Nin

"Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don't know how to replenish its source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings."

Anaïs Nin

Scott Westerfeld

"Haven't you ever known someone rejected by a lover, who, consumed by rage and jealousy, never lets go? They look on from a distance, unseen but boiling inside. The emotion never seems to tire, this hatred mixed with intense obsession, even with a kind of twisted love."

Scott Westerfeld (Peeps)

Brian Krans

"Don't exist. Live. Get out, explore. Thrive. Challenge authority. Challenge yourself. Evolve. Change forever. Become who you say you always will. Keep moving. Don't stop. Start the revolution. Become a freedom fighter. Become a superhero. Just because everyone doesn't know your name doesn't mean you dont matter."

Brian Krans (A Constant Suicide)

Dean Koontz

"Never leave a friend behind. Friends are all we have to get us through this life--and they are the only things from this world that we could hope to see in the next."

Dean Koontz (Fear Nothing)

Suzanne Collins

"You don’t forget the face of the person who was your last hope."

Suzanne Collins (The Hunger Games)

Jane Austen

"You pierce my soul. I am half agony, half hope...I have loved none but you."

Jane Austen (Persuasion)

Barbara Kingsolver

"The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance, but live right in it, under its roof."

Barbara Kingsolver (Animal Dreams)
