    Suzanne Selfors
    “Our doubts are traitors and make us
    lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt. In other words, a
    wish is a good place to start but then you have to get off your butt and make it
    happen. You have to pick up a quill and write your own damn story. (Mimi Wallingford)”

    Markus Zusak
    “She leaned down and looked at his lifeless face and Leisel kissed her best friend, Rudy Steiner, soft and true on his lips. He tasted dusty and sweet. He tasted like regret in the shadows of trees and in the glow of the anarchist's suit collection. She kissed him long and soft, and when she pulled herself away, she touched his mouth with her fingers...She did not say goodbye. She was incapable, and after a few more minutes at his side, she was able to tear herself from the ground. It amazes me what humans can do, even when streams are flowing down their faces and they stagger on...”
