am a refugee, too, forced to live far away from my own country. As my father says, we might be the world’s best-treated refugees, in a nice house with everything we need, but we still yearn for our homeland.

“MR. BROWNE'S SEPTEMBER PRECEPT:

WHEN GIVEN THE CHOICE BETWEEN BEING
RIGHT OR BEING KIND, CHOOSE KIND.”
R. J. Palacio, Wonder

Oscar Wilde
“There is no such thing as a good influence. Because to influence a person is to give him one's own soul. He does not think his natural thoughts, or burn with his natural passions. His virtures are not real to him. His sins, if there are such thing as sins, are borrowed. He becomes an echo of someone else's music, an actor of a part that has not been written for him.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

Khaled Hosseini
“But the game involves only male names. Because, if it's a girl, Laila has already named her”
Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns

“AMOS CONTI'S PRECEPT
Don't try too hard to be cool. It always shows, and that's uncool.”
R.J. Palacio, Wonder

Oscar Wilde
“Beauty is a form of Genius--is higher, indeed, than Genius, as it needs no explanation. It is one of the great facts of the world, like sunlight, or springtime, or the reflection in the dark waters of that silver shell we call the moon. It cannot be questioned. It has divine right of sovereignty. It makes princes of those who have it.”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray
