“If you take one lesson and one lesson only from this book, I want it to be this: God doesn’t function in a currency of shame. Shame isn’t from God, it isn’t of God, and it isn’t something Christians should engage in. Shame is not nor will it ever be a useful response to a person’s experience of the world, especially when it comes to sexual experiences.”
― Dianna Anderson, Damaged Goods: New Perspectives on Christian Purity

“You don’t forget the face of the person who was your last hope.”
― Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." ~ Jane Austin.

Arguably one of the best opening lines in literary history (I said ARGUABLY doesn't mean I want to argue). However, to make it a modern retelling it would have to read:

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man or women in possession of a good fortune, just treading water or so broke it aint no joke, must be in want of a life partner.”
― Brandy Potter

“You love me. Real or not real?"
I tell him, "Real.”
― Suzanne Collins, Mockingjay
