Book cover for My Friends
To be fair, there are an awful lot of famous people on the planet nowadays, so many that there hardly seems to be anyone who isn’t famous anymore.

Holly Black
“Nice things don’t happen in storybooks,” Taryn says. “Or when they do happen, something bad happens next. Because otherwise the story would be boring, and no one would read it.”
Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

C.S. Lewis
“Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one—the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.”
C.S. Lewis, How to Pray: Reflections and Essays

C.S. Lewis
“Don’t bother about the idea that God “has known for millions of years exactly what you are about to pray”. That isn’t what it’s like. God is hearing you now, just as simply as a mother hears a child. The difference His timelessness makes is that this now (which slips away from you even as you say the word now) is for Him infinite. If you must think of His timelessness at all, don’t think of Him having looked forward to this moment for millions of years: think that to Him you are always praying this prayer. But there’s really no need to bring it in. You have gone into the Temple (“one day in Thy court is better than a thousand”) and found Him, as always, there. That is all you need to bother about.”
C.S. Lewis, How to Pray: Reflections and Essays

“He's flint, you're tinder.”
Holly Black, The Cruel Prince

L.J. Smith
“Damon: Is it working? Being in her world? Does it make you feel alive?”
L.J. Smith, The Awakening
