“Dill was off again. Beautiful things floated around in his dreamy head. He could read two books to my one, but he preferred the magic of his own inventions.

“Nessa had never really felt truly beautiful before, but tonight she not only understood that she was beautiful, she understood that everyone was.

― C. D. Bell, Weregirl

“Good thoughts yield good things. The future, no matter how dark it seems, can always change, as long as the thoughts change.”
