You must know... surely, you must know it was all for you. You are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as I'd scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love, I love, I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on. - Pride and Prejudice
Maybe you had to leave in order to really miss a place. Maybe you had to travel to figure out how beloved your starting point was.
~Jodi Picoult, Handle With Care
I believe God made me for a purpose, but he also made me fast. And when I run, I feel His pleasure."
smiled at him, in spite of myself,
and felt my feet step forward, closer.
It came so naturally to put my arms around his neck,
my fingers finding each other there.
And just like that, we were dancing.
++ Along For The Ride by Sarah Dessen
She's never been one to wait around. She's always moving and dancing and running. But for some reason, with him, she's patient. She'll wait. She'll wait for nobody and nothing else, except him.
I was paying attention even when I told myself I wasn’t. If his voice hasn't been the melody of my life, it's been the bass line, so subtle you don't notice it until it's missing.
~Jodi Picoult, Vanishing Acts
a person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. you can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look happy.
It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.
~The Alchemist
"Now I don't like using words like forever, but I will love you until the end of today. And in the morning, when I remember everything that you are, I know I'll fall for you over again."
Electricity is another name for magic. Wind is another name for magic. Water is another name for magic. Love is another name for magic.
We all live in a magical place.

"Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart."
++Kahlil Gibran
"Candle light, moon light, star light,
The brightest glow is from love light."
++Grey Livingston
Today, I watched three raindrops race on the car window. Suddenly, two of them combined and shot ahead of the other one. Teamwork. MLIA.
"And I learned what is obvious to a child. That life is simply a collection of little lives, each lived one day at a time. That each day should be spent finding beauty in flowers and poetry and talking to animals. That a day spent with dreaming and sunsets and refreshing breezes cannot be bettered. But most of all, I learned that life is about sitting on benches next to ancient creeks with my hand on her knee and sometimes, on good days, for falling in love."
— Nicholas Sparks
"There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I've loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough."
— Nicholas Sparks (The Notebook)
Tyler: If you could hear me, I would say that our finger prints don't fade from the lives we've touched.
"Dreams are always crushing when they don't come true. But it's the simple dreams that are often the most painful because they seem so personal, so reasonable, so attainable. You're always close enough to touch, but never quite close enough to hold and it's enough to break your heart."
— Nicholas Sparks (Three Weeks with My Brother)
"And when her lips met mine, I knew that I could live to be a hundred and visit every country in the world, but nothing would ever compare to that single moment when I first kissed the girl of my dreams and knew that my love would last forever."
— Nicholas Sparks (Dear John)
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
~Douglas Adams
"He knew that when he kissed this girl, and forever wed his unutterable visions to her perishable breath, his mind would never romp again like the mind of God. So he waited, listening for a moment longer to the tuning-fork that had been struck upon a star. Then he kissed her. At his lips' touch she blossomed for him like a flower and the incarnation was complete."
++The Great Gatsby
"In everyone's life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit."
++ Albert Schweitzer
The best lyrics are the ones that give you goosebumps, or make you cry in public, or help you realize the answers.
~Katy Perry
“Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they just need to run free til they find someone just as wild to run with them.”

But what happens in a few days, even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime

| What I've learned is not to change who you are, because eventually you're going to run out of new things to become. - Taylor Swift I’m intimidated by the fear of being average. - Taylor Swift Do you understand that the world does not revolve around you and your "do whatever it takes, ruin as many people's lives, so long as you can make a name for yourself as an investigatory journalist, no matter how many friends you lose or people you leave dead and bloodied along the way, just so long so you can make a name for yourself as an investigatory journalist, no matter how many friends you lose or people you leave dead and bloodied and dying along the way"? - Zoolander Words can only hurt you if you try to read them.

| "We waste a lot of time running after people we could have caught by just standing still." This is your life.Put all of your energy into it and show off your intelligence to the world.You are unique & beautiful." "Yesterday our troubles seemed so far away, I believe in yesterday.”
What we have here is a dreamer, someone completely out of touch with reality. When she jumped, she probably thought she would fly. But in the end, the most important thing to accept is that no matter how alone you feel, how painful it may be, with the help of those around you, you'll get through this too."
And then my soul saw you,
and it kind of went,
“Oh there you are. I’ve been looking for you." "Nothing is hopeless; we must hope for everything."
- Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time a straight line is not the shortest distance between two points..."
- Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time Suddenly there was a great burst of light through the Darkness. The light spread out and where it touched the Darkness the Darkness disappeared. The light spread until the patch of Dark Thing had vanished, and there was only a gentle shining, and through the shining came the stars, clear and pure."
- Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time
"It seemed to travel with her, to sweep her aloft in the power of song, so that she was moving in glory among the stars, and for a moment she, too, felt that the words Darkness and Light had no meaning, and only this melody was real."
- Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time
"You're given the form, but you have to write the sonnet yourself. What you say is completely up to you."
- Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time
"An infinite question is often destroyed by finite answers. To define everything is to annihilate much that gives us laughter and joy."
- Madeleine L'Engle, A Circle of Quiet "For the things that are seen are temporal, but things that are unseen are eternal."
- Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time "I am still every age that I have been. Because I was once a child, I am always a child. Because I was once a searching adolescent, given to moods and ecstasies, these are still part of me, and always will be."
- Madeleine L'Engle, A Circle of Quiet "Maybe you have to know darkness before you can appreciate the light."
- Madeleine L'Engle, A Ring of Endless Light
Mostly, no matter how inadequate my playing, the music is all that matters: I am outside time, outside self, in play, in joy. When we can play with the unself-conscious concentration of a child, this is: art: prayer: love."
- Madeleine L'Engle, A Circle of Quiet
"Perhaps the times I seem most sure are the times I am most unsure. A good deal of the time I simply act, with great positiveness and very little assurance. I have all the arrogance of utter insecurity."
- Madeleine L'Engle, The Love Letters
"Sometimes when we have to speak suddenly we come closer to the truth than when we have time to think."
- Madeleine L'Engle, A Circle of Quiet
"When we fall as we always do, we pick ourselves up and start again. And when our trust is betrayed the only response that is not destructive is to trust again. Not stupidly you understand, but fully aware of the facts, we still have to trust."
- Madeleine L'Engle, The Young Unicorns "When we make ourselves vulnerable, we do open ourselves to pain, sometimes excruciating pain. The more people we love, the more we are liable to be hurt, and not only by the people we love, but for the people we love."
- Madeleine L'Engle, Penguin and Golden Calves
"when you put something into words, it leads to so many other thoughts"
- Madeleine L'Engle, The Small Rain
"With the people I love most I can sit in silence indefinitely. We need both for our full development; the joy of the sense of sound; and the equally great joy of its absence."
- Madeleine L'Engle, A Circle of Quiet

| Hang around for one more song,
The night is younger than we are.
I will lift you up when you fall down. O! she doth teach the torches to burn bright.
It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night
Like a rich jewel in an Ethiop's ear;
Beauty too rich for use, for earth too dear.
Romeo and Juliet, 1. 5 He jests at scars that never felt a wound.
But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Romeo and Juliet, 2. 2 See, how she leans her cheek upon her hand!
O that I were a glove upon that hand,
That I might touch that cheek!
Romeo and Juliet, 2. 2 O, swear not by the moon, the inconstant moon,
That monthly changes in her circled orb,
Lest that thy love prove likewise variable.
Romeo and Juliet, 2. 2 Good night, good night! parting is such sweet sorrow,
That I shall say good night till it be morrow.
Romeo and Juliet, 2. 2 Give me my Romeo; and, when he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night,
And pay no worship to the garish sun.
Romeo and Juliet, 3. 2 "You ever heard the expression 'The best things in live are free.' Well that expression is true.' Every once in a while, people step up they rise above themselves sometimes they surprise you and sometimes they fall short. Life is funny sometimes. It can push pretty hard but if you look close enough, you can find hope in the words of children, in the bars of the song and in the eyes of someone you love. And if you're lucky, if you're the luckiest person on this entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back."
- Nathan, One Tree Hill "I guess I should have said something, anything. I mean for a guy who wants to be a writer, it suddenly seemed like no words had ever been written, but when someone tells you that they somehow stopped missing you, you're pretty much screwed no matter what you say. See, but there had to be something, right? Something that no one had ever said in the history of the world, something that could change this. That wasn't it."
- Lucas, One Tree Hill "There are moments in our lives when we find ourselves at a crossroads. But, once in a while, people push onto something better. Something found just beyond the pain of going it alone. And just beyond the bravery and courage it takes to let someone in. Or to give someone a second chance. Something beyond the quiet persistence of a dream. Because, it's only when you’re tested that you truly discover who you are. And, it's only when you're tested that you discover who you can be."
The person you want to be does exist; somewhere on the other side of hard work and faith and belief. And, beyond the heartache and fear of what lies ahead." - One Tree Hill William Blake once wrote; "There are things that are known and things that are unknown, and in between, there are doors." - Lucas, One Tree Hill "There are two tragedies in life: one is to lose your heart's desire, the other is to gain it." -- George Bernard Shaw
"As far as I’m concerned, Shaw was a punk! 'Cause you know what? Tragedies happen. What're you gonna do, give up? Quit? No. I realize now that when your heart breaks, you gotta fight like hell to make sure you’re still alive. 'Cause you are, and that pain you feel: it's life. The confusion and fear.. that's there to remind you that somewhere out there is something better. And that something is worth fighting for." -Natahan "Yeah, losing your heart’s desire is tragic. But gaining your heart’s desire... It’s all you can hope for. This year, I wished for love. To immerse myself in someone else and to wake a heart long afraid to feel. My wish was granted. And if having that is tragic… then give me tragedy. Because, I wouldn’t give it back for the world." -Peyton

while the radio goes:
this song goes out to anyone alone,
don't worry,
I know that you'll find someone.
