“The next time that boy pursues you, he better do it like a dying man looking for water in a desert. When it's the right guy, you'll know, because he'll cherish you.”
― Karen Kingsbury, Leaving

“So if you care to find me/
Look to the western sky/
As someone told me lately/
Everyone deserves the chance to fly!/
And if I'm flying solo/
At least I'm flying free/
Tell those who'd ground me/
Take a message back from me/
Tell them how I am defying gravity!/
I'm flying high defying gravity/
And soon I'll match them in renown./
And nobody in all of Oz/
No Wizard that there is or was/
Is ever gonna bring me down!/”
― Stephen Schwartz, Wicked: Easy Piano CD Play-Along Volume 26

“You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

“Ain't no way to change the world for the better if you can't stand up for what's right when everyone else is wrong.”
― Jennifer Erin Valent, Fireflies in December
