Frances de Pontes Peebles
“People who attribute success to luck have never truly been successful. Luck may place an opportunity in your lap, but only a constant, obsessive attention transforms that opportunity into some kind of meaningful success.”
Frances de Pontes Peebles, The Air You Breathe

Frances de Pontes Peebles
“when you have no power in this world you must create your own, you must adapt to your environment and try to foil the many dangers around you, so a woman’s pleasantness—her smile, her grace, her cheer, her sweetness, her perfumed body, her carefully made-up face—isn’t some silly by-product of fashions or tastes; it is a means of survival. The performance may cripple us, but it keeps us alive.”
Frances de Pontes Peebles, The Air You Breathe

Frances de Pontes Peebles
“We all take for granted things that come too easily.
That's why I can't let you go--you're always a challenge to me.
Here's my wow to you, here's all I believe:
For you, I'll stay invisble. I"ll be the air you breathe.”
Frances de Pontes Peebles, The Air You Breathe

“The year you were born marks only your entry into the world. Other years where you prove your worth, they are the ones worth celebrating.”
Jarod Kintz, This Book Title is Invisible

Ilona Andrews
“You’re like a god from a Greek myth, Saiman. You have no empathy. You have no concept of the world beyond your ego. Wanting something gives you an automatic right to obtain it by whatever means necessary with no regard to the damage it may do. I would be careful if I were you. Friends and objects of deities’ desires dropped like flies. In the end the gods always ended up miserable and alone."
— Kate Daniels”
Ilona Andrews, Magic Strikes
