And th~ey have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disag~ree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things.

- “Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your xcitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where bef~ore it was infrequent ~or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. I~n their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will r~emain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”

Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And baby, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soulmate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mea~n you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always~ believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sw~eetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.”

- A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another la~yer of yourself to you, and then leave.
- A soul mates purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break ~your heart open so new light can get in, make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life, then introduce you to your spiritual master...”

- “To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sur~e of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”

- Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes, who has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve.
- Find a girl who reads. You’ll know hat she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag. She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she has found the book she wants. You see that~ weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a secondhand book shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow and worn.
- She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street. If you take a peek at her mug, the non-dairy creamer ~is floating on top because she’s kind of engrossed already. Lost in a world of the author’s making. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the book.
- Buy her another cup of coffee.
- Let her know what you really think of Murakami. See if she got through the first chapter of Fellowship. Understand that if she says she understood James Joyce’s Ulysses she’s just saying that to sound intelligent. Ask her if she loves Alice or she would like to be Alice.
- It’s easy to date a girl wh~o reads. Give her books for her birthday, for Christmas, for anniversaries. Give her the gift of words, in poetry and in song. Give her Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings. Let her know that you understand that words are love. Understand that she knows the difference between books and reality but by god, she’s going to try to make her life a little like her favorite book. It will never be your fault if she does.
- She has to give it a shot somehow.
- Lie to her. If she understands syntax, she will understand your need to lie. Behind words are other things: motivation, value, nuance, dialogue. It will not be the end of the world.
- Fail her. Because a girl who reads knows that failure always leads up to the climax. Because girls who read understand that all things must come to end, but that you can always write a sequel. That you can begin again an~d again and still be the hero. That life is meant to have a villain or two.
- Why be frightened of everything that you are not? Girls who read understand that people, like characters, develop. Except in the Twilight series.
- If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and~ hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are.
- You will propose on a hot air balloon. Or during a rock concert. Or very casually next time she’s sick. Over Skype.
- You will smile so hard you will wonder why y~our heart hasn’t burst and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story f your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. She will introduce your children to~ the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together and she will recite Keats under her breath while you shake the snow off your boots.
- Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginabl~e. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads.
- Or better yet, date a girl who writes.”

- “There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed.”
- =====================================
- “The marks humans leave are too often scars.”
- =====================================
- “Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love.”
- =====================================
- “Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day. You shall begin it serenely and with too high a spirit to be encumbered with your old nonsense.”
- =====================================
- “I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.”
- =====================================

Of course, there is a bigger infinite set of numbers between 0 and 2, or between 0 and a million. Some infinities are~ bigger than other infinities. A writer we used to like taught us that. There are days, many of them, when I resent the size of my unbounded set. I want more numbers than I'm likely to get, and God, I want more numbers for Au~gustus Waters than he got. But, Gus, my love, I cannot tell you how thankful I am for our little infinity. I wouldn't trade it for the world. You gave me a forever within the numbered days, and I'm grateful.”

- “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, no~t our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does ot serve the world. There is nothing enlightened ab~out shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure aroun~d you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

- =====================================

- =====================================
- “Just when you think it can't get any worse, it can. And just when you think it can't get any better, it can.”
- =====================================
- “I declare after all there is no enjoymen~t like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house f my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.”
- =====================================
- “You never really understand a p~erson until you consider things from his point of view... Until you climb inside of his skin and walk around in it.”

- “I wish it need not h~ave happened in my time," said Frodo.
- "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
- =====================================
- “Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”
- =====================================

- Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
- And sorry I could not travel both
- And be one traveler~, long I stood
- And looked down one as far as I could
- To where it bent in the undergrowth;
- Then took the other, as just as fair,
- And having perhaps the better claim,
- Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
- Though as for that the pa~ssing there
- Had worn them really about the same,
- And both that morning equally lay
- In leaves no step had trodden black.
- Oh, I kept the first for an~other day!
- Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
- I doubted if I should ever come back.
- I shall be telling this ~with a sigh
- Somewhere ages and ages hence:
- Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

- =====================================
- “It takes ten times as long to~ put yourself back together as it does to fall apart.”

- “Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia. (...) You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it ~one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.”
- =====================================
- “You are my best friend as wel~l as my lover, and I do not know which side of you I enjoy the most. I treasure each side, just as I have treasured our life together.”
