“I don't know if you've ever noticed this, but first impressions are often entirely wrong. You can look at a painting for the first time, for example, and not like it at all, but after looking at it a little longer you may find it very pleasing. The first time you try Gorgonzola cheese you may find it too strong, but when you are older you may want to eat nothing but Gorgonzola cheese. Klaus, when Sunny was born, did not like her at all, but by the time she was six weeks old the two of them were thick as thieves. Your initial opinion on just about anything may change over time.”
― Lemony Snicket, The Bad Beginning

“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”
― Toni Morrison

“I already have a family of my own. It might be small, and it might be untraditional, but that doesn't make it less important.”
― H.E. Edgmon, The Witch King

“The right person shouldnt complete you, they should love you the way you are. And it's cool if they make you want to be better, but they should never make you feel like you are too much or not enough exactly as you are.”
― Alexandria Bellefleur, Count Your Lucky Stars
