J.R. Ward

"I was dead until you found me, though I breathed. I was sightless, though I could see. And then you came...and I was awakened."

J.R. Ward

Jorge Luis Borges

"You have wakened not out of sleep, but into a prior dream, and that dream lies within another, and so on, to infinity, which is the number of grains of sand. The path that you are to take is endless, and you will die before you have truly awakened."

Jorge Luis Borges

"Albert grunted. "Do you know what happens to lads who ask too many questions?"
Mort thought for a moment.
"No," he said eventually, "what?"
There was silence.
Then Albert straightened up and said, "Damned if I know. Probably they get answers, and serve 'em right."

"Getting an education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on."

Love

"This emotion I'm feeling now, this is love, right?
"I don't know. Is it a longing? Is it a giddy stupid happiness just because you're with me?
"Yes," she said. "I want to know you moved and breathed in the same world with me."

F. Scott Fitzgerald and Orson Scott Card

F. Scott Fitzgerald

"Whenever you feel like criticizing any one...just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had."

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Orson Scott Card

"Love is finding that the things you like best about yourself are not in you at all, but in the person who completes you"

George Lucas

"Train yourself to let go of the things you fear to lose."

George Lucas

Jonathan Hull

"It was the chance--just the chance--to come fully alive; to love someone else so completely that you would never again feel alone. That was it, wasn’t it? The promise of being engulfed by love and passion and intimacy; to connect in a way that gently sutured together the souls."

Jonathan Hull
