“The human heart is a strange vessel. Love and hatred can exist side by side.”
― Scott Westerfield

“My heart stopped. It just stopped beating. And for the first time in my life, I had that feeling. You know, like the world is moving all around you, all beneath you, all inside you, and you're floating. Floating in midair. And the only thing keeping you from drifting away is the other person's eyes. They're connected to yours by some invisible physical force, and they hold you fast while the rest of the world swirls and twirls and falls completely away.”
― Wendelin Van Draanen, Flipped

“One's character is set at an early age. The choices you make now will affect you for the rest of your life. I hate to see you swim out so far you can't swim back.”
― Wendelin Van Draanen, Flipped

“Every time you smile at someone, it is an action of love, a gift to that person, a beautiful thing.”
― Mother Teresa
