Quotes by C.L. Barbera  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“La giovanissima Crisalide la guardò con una determinazione troppo
straordinaria per essere di questa terra e troppo grande per appartenere
al suo piccolo cuore, poi fece un cenno con la mano alle altre
due bambine che si trovavano nella stanza.
Due piccole figure incappucciate e avvolte una, in un mantello nero
e l’altra, in uno candido le si avvicinarono e presero le sue mani.
Le tre bambine guardarono al di là della porta finestra, i loro occhi
attraversarono la piazza, la città e andarono lontano, alla ricerca dell’anello
mancante, l’anello finale della loro catena, quello che avrebbe
potuto salvarle o distruggerle.”
Cettina Barbera, Blood Butterfly

“Tu non esisti, tu non sei qui...”
Cettina Barbera, Blood Butterfly

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”
Bernard M. Baruch

“You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching,
Love like you'll never be hurt,
Sing like there's nobody listening,
And live like it's heaven on earth.”
William W. Purkey

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
Oscar Wilde

“You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.”
Dr. Seuss

“You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.”
Mae West
