Tara's favorite quotes

44566
"You gain strength, courage and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, 'I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along.' You must do the thing you think you cannot do."
Eleanor Roosevelt

19838
"A bookstore is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking."
Jerry Seinfeld

"The grand essentials of happiness are: something to do, something to love, and something to hope for."
— Allan K. Chalmers

"I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat. "
Winston S. Churchill

description: This is a novel in progress for me. It's about a vampire who lives through the ages. It's been a labor of love over the past 5 years. This is a rough draft, definitely not the final version in any way. There is strong language and sexual content in this story. It's violent at times as well. I would not recommend reading this if you are easily offended by coarse language or made uncomfortable by it. I'm keeping a list of the meaning of names that I use in the story; if there's a name you would like to know the meaning and origin of, let me know.
