Sometimes you deal with the devil not because you want to, but because if you don't, someone else will. Laurell K. Hamilton
Let's not talk about it any more, but if you still want anything please write to me about it, because I can say what I mean much better on paper. Anne Frank
I saw the gooseflesh on my skin. I did not know what made it. I was not cold. Had a ghost passed over? No, it was the poetry. A spark flew off Arnold and shook me, like a chill. I wanted to cry; I felt very odd. I had fallen into a new way of being happy. Sylvia Plath
Jodi Picoult quote: "May be it took realizing that you could die to keep you from..."
May be it took realizing that you could die to keep you from wanting to do it. Jodi Picoult
I used to stand in front of the mirror in the bathroom to see what they were staring at. I wanted to know what made their heads turn, what it was about me that was so incredibly different. At first I couldn’t tell. I mean, I was just me. Then one day, when I looked in the mirror, I understood. I looked into my own eyes and I hated myself, maybe as much as all of them did. That was the day I started to believe they might be right. Jodi Picoult

No one wants to be part of a fiction, and even less so if that fiction is real. Paul Auster
How did you get back?' asked Vautrin. 'I walked,' replied Eugene. 'I wouldn't like half-pleasures, myself,' observed the tempter. 'I'd want to go there in my own carriage, have my own box, and come back in comfort. All or nothing, that's my motto.' 'And a very good one,' said Madame Vauquer. Honore de Balzac
If you are a writer, or want to be a writer, this is how you spend your days--listening, observing, storing things away, making your isolation pay off. You take home all you've taken in, all that you've overheard, and you turn it into gold. (Or at least you try.) Anne Lamott
We might have been ready to offer sympathy, but in actuality there were stronger reasons to want to congratulate her for having found such a powerful motive to feel sad. We should have envied her for having located someone without whom she so firmly felt she could not survive, beyond the gate let along in a bare student bedroom in a suburb of Rio. If she had been able to view her situation from a sufficient distance, she might have been able to recognise this as one of the high points in her... Alain de Botton
Terry McMillan quote: "I want to push the fast-forward button until I get back to happy."
I want to push the fast-forward button until I get back to happy. Terry McMillan
It’s all circling around the same problem of personal liberties,” Walter said. “People came to this country for either money or freedom. If you don’t have money, you cling to your freedoms all the more angrily. Even if smoking kills you, even if you can’t afford to feed your kids, even if your kids are getting shot down by maniacs with assault rifles. You may be poor, but the one thing nobody can take away from you is the freedom to fuck up your life whatever way you want to. Jonathan Franzen
Laurell K. Hamilton quote: "It would be nice if you’d stop almost killing me because you..."
It would be nice if you’d stop almost killing me because you don’t want to screw other people. Laurell K. Hamilton
If you ever read one of my books I hope you'll think it looks so easy. In fact, I wrote those chapters 20 times over, and over, and over, and that if you want to write at a good level, you'll have to do that too. Peter Carey
We want to reveal ourselves at will and speak our minds and never talk small and be intuitive and question mightily and find god my tortured beacon. We need to find like-minded companions. If we were their condemnations, if we were their projections, if we were our paranoias I'd be joining you. Alanis Morissette
