My favourite quotes from my favourite books/authors..

"Welcome to the wonderful world of jealousy, he thought. For the price of admission, you get a splitting headache, a nearly irresistable urge to commit murder, and an inferority complex. Yippee." JR Ward

"There comes a point when you either embrace who and what you are, or condemn yourself to be miserable all your days. Other people will try to make you miserable; don't help them by doing the job yourself." - Laura K Hamillton


Nobody can make you feel inferior without your consent." — Eleanor Roosevelt

"Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend." — Albert Camus


"I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book." — Groucho Marx


"Even if i were lying on the sun itself, i would be freezing there without you." — Sherrilyn Kenyon

"He is like a drug to you, Bella." His voice was still gentle, not at all critical. "I see that you can't live without him now. It's too late. But I would have been healthier for you. Not a drug; I would have been the air, the sun." The corner of my mouth turned up in a wistful half smile. "I used to think of you that way, you know. Like the sun. My personal sun. You balanced out the clouds nicely for me." He Sighed. "The clouds I can handle. But I can't fight with an eclipse." — Stephenie Meyer (Eclipse)


"If I could dream at all it would be about you. And I'm not ashamed of it." — Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)


"Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." — Dr. Seuss



"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened." — Dr. Seuss



"I was dead until you found me, though I breathed. I was sightless, though I could see. And then you came...and I was awakened." — J.R. Ward (Lover Awakened)



"Some books should be tasted some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly." — Cornelia Funke (Inkheart)

"So what you're saying is, I'm your brand of heroin?" "You're exactly my brand of heroin." — Stephenie Meyer (Twilight)


"Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love." — Mother Teresa



"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." — Marianne Williamson (A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of a Course in Miracles)




Even more, I had never meant to love him. One thing I truly knew - knew it in the pit of my stomach, in the center of my bones, knew it from the crown of my head to the soles of my feet, knew it deep in my empty chest - was how love gave someone the power to break you. I'd been broken beyond repair." — Stephenie Meyer (New Moon)

"And so the lion fell in love with the lamb...," He murmured. "What a stupid lamb, " I sighed. "What a sick, masochistic lion." — Stephenie Meyer (Twiligt


"The content of fear may be intense & gripping so much that it overwhelms us completely. But when we look beyond that content at the fear itself, what do we find? Pure energy, energy which if we focus on directly will begin to reveal it's true nature. Then instead of filling us with agitation, the energy of fear can actually lead us to a state of exhilaration or intense concentration or love. " — Ancient Hindu Scripture
