    David Levithan
    “I am a drifter, and as lonely as that can be, it is also remarkably freeing. I will never define myself in terms of anyone else. I will never feel the pressure of peers or the burden of parental expectation. I can view everyone as pieces of a whole, and focus on the whole, not the pieces. I have learned to observe, far better than most people observe. I am not blinded by the past or motivated by the future. I focus on the present because that is where I am destined to live.”

    Carina Bartsch
    “Dabei waren doch gerade Bücher eins der kostbarsten Geschenke auf Erden. Kunstvoll aneinandergereihte Wörter, die zu einer Melodie wurden und sich in Bilder verwandelten. Weiße, leere Blätter, auf denen Welten größer als das Universum entstanden. Welten, die Menschen in ihren Bann zogen und alles um sich herum vergessen ließen.

    -Carina Bartsch, Kirschroter Sommer”

    Cassandra Clare
    “And now I’m looking at you,” he said, “and you’re asking me if I still want you, as if I could stop loving you. As if I would want to give up the thing that makes me stronger than anything else ever has. I never dared give much of myself to anyone before – bits of myself to the Lightwoods, to Isabelle and Alec, but it took years to do it – but, Clary, since the first time I saw you, I have belonged to you completely. I still do. If you want me.”
