    “I fell in love with him. But I don't just stay with him by default as if there's no one else available to me.

    Veronica Roth
    “There are so many ways to be brave in this world. Sometimes bravery involves laying down your life for something bigger than yourself, or for someone else. Sometimes it involves giving up everything you have ever known, or everyone you have ever loved, for the sake of something greater.

    But sometimes it doesn't.

    Sometimes it is nothing more than gritting your teeth through pain, and the work of every day, the slow walk toward a better life.

    That is the sort of bravery I must have now.”
    Veronica Roth, Allegiant

    John Green
    “There are infinite numbers between 0 and 1. There's .1 and .12 and .112 and an infinite collection of others. 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 Augustus 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.”
    John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

    C.S. Lewis
    “It would seem that Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak.

We are far too easily pleased.”
    C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory, and Other Addresses

    That's what I've learned. That's what I'm going to be doing. LIVING.”
    Kami Garcia and Margret Stohl, Beautiful Redemption

    Steve Kluger
    “Even though I didn't notice it while it was happening, I got reminded in ninth grade of a few things I guess I should have known all along:
    1. A first kiss after five months means more than a first kiss after five minutes.
    2. Always remember what it was like to be six
    3. Never, ever stop believing in magic, no matter how old you get. Because if you keep looking long enough and don't give up, sooner or later you're going to find Mary Poppins. And if your really lucky, maybe even a purple balloon.
    Thanks, Mama. I love you.”
