Every time I read to her, it was like I was courting her, because sometimes, just sometimes, she would fall in love with me again, just like she had a long time ago. And that's the most wonderful feeling in the world. How many people are ever given that chance? To have someone you love fall in love with you over and over?

I never approve, or disapprove, of anything now. It is an absurd attitude to take towards life.

Oscar Wilde

Junius, The Letters of Junius 'D

Everywhere the human soul stands between a hemisphere of light and another of darkness; on the confines of the two everlasting empires, necessity and free will.

To guarantee success, act as if it were impossible to fail.

Dorothea Brande

Only the very weak-minded refuse to be influenced by literature and poetry.

Cassandra Clare
