“A poet is someone who stands outside in the rain hoping to be struck by lightning.”
― James Dickey

“And I also know that loving someone—even when it’s scary, even when there are consequences—is never the wrong thing to do.”
― Cassandra Clare, Pale Kings and Princes

“Sometimes placing our belief in something bigger than ourselves helps us get to a point where we can be enough on our own, magic or no magic.”
― Sara Raasch, Snow Like Ashes

“There are a hundred trillion cells in the human body, and every single one of the cells of my body loves you. We shed cells, and grow new ones, and my new cells love you more than the old ones, which is why I love you more every day than I did the day before. It’s science. And when I die and they burn my body and I become ashes that mix with the air, and part of the ground and the trees and the stars, everyone who breathes that air or sees the flowers that grow out of the ground or looks up at the stars will remember you and love you, because I love you that much.”
― Cassandra Clare, City of Heavenly Fire
