A Plethora of Good News

This past week has been NUTS. My book went worldwide on Amazon, and ever since the night I found out I've been in a constant state of shock.

Here are some of my emotions to sum things up for you: terrified, ecstatic, horrified, euphoric, nauseous, joyous, bewildered, freaked out, exuberant...

Today my book went Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Lisa Alfonso  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“It's a broken life we live. It's best to accept it and move on rather than waste a good day worrying about it.”
― Lisa Alfonso, Believe

“You can't just look at me like that and expect me to get over it.”
― Lisa Alfonso, Believe

“Believe nothing others tell you. That is Rule No 1 of life in Astro City.

But what if the ones who set the rules are the ones lying to you?

What if the ones who reprimand the rule-breakers are lying to you?

Who do you believe when there is nobody left to believe?”
― Lisa Alfonso, Believe

“listen: there’s a hell
of a good universe next door; let’s go”
― E.E. Cummings

“I have never been convinced there's anything inherently wrong in having fun. ”
― George Plimpton

“I'd rather die my way than live yours.”
― Lauren Oliver, Delirium

“Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. You probably can’t. You know the month, the year, the day of the week. There is a clock on your wall or the dashboard of your car. You have a schedule, a calendar, a time for dinner or a movie. Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. an alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.”
― Mitch Albom, The Time Keeper
