Quotes by Jennifer Cervantes (?)

“I felt as though melted chocolate had oozed its way from my heart to my toes, coating me with comfort on its way down.”
― Jennifer Cervantes, Tortilla Sun

“You must be very patient to tell stories. And you must sit with the idea, allowing it to simmer like soup on the stove. You wouldn't go to all the trouble of cutting up the ingredients, throwing them in the pot and expecting it to cook without fire, right?”
― Jennifer Cervantes, Tortilla Sun

“You will always feel his absence but you can still find joy. Like now, we are sad but that doesn't mean we can't smile or that life won't ever be normal again... You shouldn't feel bad for moments of joy... We must find our way back to joy. Bit by bit. And some of us will find it sooner than others.”
― Jennifer Cervantes, Tortilla Sun

Jennifer’s Quotes

“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.”
― Marie Curie

“There are three infallible ways of pleasing an author, and the three form a
rising scale of compliment: 1, to tell him you have read one of his books; 2,
to tell him you have read all of his books; 3, to ask him to let you read the
manuscript of his forthcoming book. No. 1 admits you to his respect; No. 2
admits you to his admiration; No. 3 carries you clear into his heart.”
― Mark Twain, Pudd'nhead Wilson

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.”

“Fantasy is silver and scarlet, indigo and azure, obsidian veined with gold and lapis lazuli. Reality is plywood and plastic, done up in mud brown and olive drab. Fantasy tastes of habaneros and honey, cinnamon and cloves, rare red meat and wines as sweet as summer. Reality is beans and tofu, and ashes at the end.”
― George R.R. Martin
