    Colleen Hoover

    Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

    Jenny  Lawson

    “People think that intimacy is about sex. But intimacy is about truth. When you realize you can tell someone your truth, when you can show yourself to them, when you stand in front of them bare and their response is 'you're safe with me'- that's intimacy.”
    Taylor Jenkins Reid, The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo

    C.S. Lewis
    “To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure 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.”
    C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

    C.S. Lewis
    “Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art.... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival.”
    C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

    Friendship ... is born at the moment when one man says to another What! You
    “Friendship ... is born at the moment when one man says to another "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . .”
    C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

    Krystal Sutherland
    “Love doesn't need to last a lifetime for it to be real. You can't judge the quality of a love by the length of time it lasts. Everything dies, love included. Sometimes it dies with a person, sometimes it dies on its own. The greatest love story ever told doesn't have to be about two people who spent their whole lives together. It might be about a love that lasted two weeks or two months or two years, but burned brighter and hotter and more brilliantly than any other love before or after. Don't mourn a failed love; there is no such thing. All love is equal in the brain.”
    Krystal Sutherland, Our Chemical Hearts

    Krystal Sutherland
    “The best thing the universe ever gave us is that we'll all be forgotten. [...] I kinda like the idea. That when we die, despite any pain or fear or embarrassment we experienced during our lives, despite any heartbreak or grief, we get to be dispersed back into nothingness. It makes me feel brave, knowing I'll get a blank slate at the end. You get a brief glimmer of consciousness to do with what you will and then it's given back to the universe again. I'm not religious, but even I can appreciate that that's redemption, on the grandest scale. Oblivion isn't scary; it's the closest thing to genuine absolution of sin that I can imagine.”
    Krystal Sutherland, Our Chemical Hearts

    Roy T. Bennett
    “If you want to be happy, do not dwell in the past, do not worry about the future, focus on living fully in the present.”
    Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

  • #14
    Roy T. Bennett
    “Don't let the expectations and opinions of other people affect your decisions. It's your life, not theirs. Do what matters most to you; do what makes you feel alive and happy. Don't let the expectations and ideas of others limit who you are. If you let others tell you who you are, you are living their reality — not yours. There is more to life than pleasing people. There is much more to life than following others' prescribed path. There is so much more to life than what you experience right now. You need to decide who you are for yourself. Become a whole being. Adventure.”
    Roy T. Bennett

    “Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there's no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic.”
    Laini Taylor, Daughter of Smoke & Bone

    “Love is a luxury."
    "No. Love is an element."
    An element. Like air to breathe, earth to stand on.”
    Laini Taylor, Daughter of Smoke & Bone

    Veronica Roth
    “People, I have discovered, are layers and layers of secrets. You believe you know them, that you understand them, but their motives are always hidden from you, buried in their own hearts. You will never know them, but sometimes you decide to trust them.”
    Veronica Roth, Insurgent

    Veronica Roth
    “Cruelty does not make a person dishonest, the same way bravery does not make a person kind.”
    Veronica Roth, Insurgent

    “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies, said Jojen. The man who never reads lives only one.”
    George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons

    George R.R. Martin
    “What is honor compared to a woman's love? What is duty against the feel of a newborn son in your arms . . . or the memory of a brother's smile? Wind and words. Wind and words. We are only human, and the gods have fashioned us for love. That is our great glory, and our great tragedy.”
    George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

    “When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives.”
    George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

    “Why is it that when one man builds a wall, the next man immediately needs to know what's on the other side?”
    George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

    George R.R. Martin
    “I will hurt you for this. I don't know how yet, but give me time. A day will come when you think yourself safe and happy, and suddenly your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, and you'll know the debt is paid.”
    George R.R. Martin, A Clash of Kings

    George R.R. Martin
    “I think there are two types of writers, the architects and the gardeners. The architects plan everything ahead of time, like an architect building a house. They know how many rooms are going to be in the house, what kind of roof they're going to have, where the wires are going to run, what kind of plumbing there's going to be. They have the whole thing designed and blueprinted out before they even nail the first board up. The gardeners dig a hole, drop in a seed and water it. They kind of know what seed it is, they know if planted a fantasy seed or mystery seed or whatever. But as the plant comes up and they water it, they don't know how many branches it's going to have, they find out as it grows. And I'm much more a gardener than an architect.”
    George R.R. Martin

    George R.R. Martin
    “Needle was Robb and Bran and Rickon, her mother and her father, even Sansa. Needle was Winterfell's grey walls, and the laughter of its people. Needle was the summer snows, Old Nan's stories, the heart tree with its red leaves and scary face, the warm earthy smell of the glass gardens, the sound of the north wind rattling the shutters of her room. Needle was Jon Snow's smile. He used to mess my hair and call me "little sister," she remembered, and suddenly there were tears in her eyes.”
    George R.R. Martin, A Feast for Crows

    George R.R. Martin
    “Don’t call me Lord Snow.”
    The dwarf lifted an eyebrow. “Would you rather be called the Imp? Let them see that their words can cut you and you’ll never be free of the mockery. If they want to give you a name take it make it your own. Then they can’t hurt you with it anymore.”
    George R.R. Martin, A Game of Thrones

    George R.R. Martin
    “Kill the boy, Jon Snow. Winter is almost upon us. Kill the boy and let the man be born.”
    George R.R. Martin, A Dance with Dragons

    “Rhaegar fought valiantly, Rhaegar fought nobly, Rhaegar fought honorably. And Rhaegar died.”
    George R.R. Martin, A Storm of Swords

    Ernest Hemingway
    “The most painful thing is losing yourself in the process of loving someone too much, and forgetting that you are special too.”
    Ernest Hemingway, Men Without Women
