Stephenie Meyer
"
Slowly, slowly,
my thoughts started to break
past that brick wall of pain.
To plan. For I had no choices now but one:
to go to the mirrored room and die.

-- twilight"

C.S. Lewis
""Why should your majesty think it? My own plans are made. While I may, I sail East in Dawn Treader. When she fails me, I row East in my coracle. When that sinks, shall I paddle East with my four paws. Then, when I can swim no longer, if I have not yet reached Aslan's Country, there shall I sink with my nose to the sunrise...
and Peepiceek will be head of Talking Mice in Narnia"

"Cameron Newton was probably the only person in school who was getting weirder lookes that Scarlett that fall. He'd transferred in September, which was hard enought, but he was also one of those short, skinny kids with pasty white skin; he always wore black, which made him look half dead, or half alive, depending on how optimistic you were.

``````

Cameron was looking up at us, in his black turtleneck and black jeans. Even his eyes looked black.

~~~~~~~

"Hello." His voice was surprisingly deep for such a small guy, and he had an accent that made you lean in and concentrate to understand him.

````````

I spent the rest of that week in Commercial Design getting to know Cameron Newton. And Scarlett was right: he was funny. In a weird, under-his-breath-as-if-totally-not-meaning-to way that made you think you shouldn't laugh, even when you wanted to. He was incredibly artistic, truly gifted even; he could make a clay face of anyone in minutes.


So Scarlett took Cameron in, the way she'd taken me in all those years ago. And Cameron grew on me as well; his low, quiet voice, his all black ensembles, his strange, jittery laugh. "

Donald Miller
"I believe the greatest trick of the devil is not to get us into some sort of evil but rather have us wasting time. This is why the devil tries so hard to get Christians to be religious. If he can sink a man's mind into habit, he will prevent his heart from engaging God. I was into habit."

Lauren Myracle
"So as a seventh grader, no, you weren't friends with people you didn't like. But sometimes you also weren't friends with people you did like, which was complicated, and which didn't make any sense if you tried to explain it. Sometimes things just changed. That's where the sadness came in."

Laura Esquivel
"She felt so lost and lonely. One last chile in walnut sauce left on the platter after a fancy dinner couldn't feel any worse than she did. How many times had she eaten one of those treats, standing by herself in the kitchen, rather than let it be thrown away. When nobody eats the last chile on the plate, it's usually because none of them wants to look like a glutton, so even though they'd really like to devour it, they don't have the nerve to take it. It was as if they were rejecting that stuffed pepper, which contains every imaginable flavor; sweet as candied citron, juicy as pomegranate, with the bit of pepper and the subtlety of walnuts, that marvelous chile in the walnut sauce. Within it lies the secret of love, but it will never be penetrated, and all because it wouldn't feel proper. "

"Sanchez looked at me and we locked eyes a second too long. There was nothing I could do about it. The signal went out. A moment of clear, silent hostility passed between us as hotly charged and unintentional as a thousand-volt arc through a squirrel."

"For me writing is like sex; never out of my mind, while it shapes and edits my world.
Thinking about sex can make the end result exciting, then satisfying. So that once you walk away, the idea of sex is still with you, shaping fantasies and tantalizing scenarios, beginnings and conclusions enhancing the ending; giving way to the need to do it again. "

William Shakespeare
""I have neither the scholar's melancholy, which is emulation; nor the musician's, which is fantastical; nor the courtier's, which is proud; not the soldier's which is ambitious; nor the lawyer's, which is politic; nor the lady's, which is nice; nor the lover's, which is all these: but it is a melancholy of mine own, compounded of many simples, extracted from many objects, and indeed the sundry contemplation of my travels, which, by often rumination, wraps me in a most humorous sadness.""

"می خواستم به شما بگویم
“سلام “

اما شما سریع رد شدید
می خواستم به شما بگویم حال شما چطور است؟

اما شما به من نگاه نکردید
می خواستم بگویم حال من خوب نیست
اما شما دیگر رفته بودید
برای همین هیچ چیز به شما نگفتم
فقط پوست موزم را زیر پایتان انداختم
تا زمین بخورید و یک لحظه بایستید
شاید این بار مرا ببینید
"
