“People must flatter their own eyes with their pathetic lives. The things I was saying followed logically the things that I had said before, yet bore no relation to what I was thinking and feeling.”Lyn Hejinian

My Babysitter Is a Vampire by Ann Hodgman
This remains my favorite vampire romance series.

I can't count the number of times I read this series as a kid (and--I'm a little embarrassed to admit it--as a young teenager). I found these books last week in a time capsul that I had buried under a p...more

Lauren Oliver
“So far I've seen the life studies packet used as (1) an umbrella, (2) a makeshift towel, (3) a pillow, and now this. I have never actually seen anyone study with it, which either means that everyone who graduates from Thomas Jefferson will be totally unprepared for life or that certain things can't be learned in bullet-point format.”
Lauren Oliver, Before I Fall

Kurt Vonnegut
“The whore, who said her name was Sandra, offered me delights unobtainable outside of Place Pigalle and Port Said. I said I wasn't interested, and she was bright enough to say that she wasn't really interested either. As things turned out, we had both overestimated our apathies, but not by much.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Kurt Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle

Laini Taylor
“Hope can be a powerful force. Maybe there's no actual magic in it, but when you know what you hope for most and hold it like a light within you, you can make things happen, almost like magic.”
Laini Taylor, Daughter of Smoke & Bone

Peter S. Beagle
“You pile of stones, you waste, you desolation, I'll stuff you with misery till it comes out of your eyes. I'll change your heart into green grass, and all you love into a sheep. I'll turn you into a bad poet with dreams.”
Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn

Mark Twain
“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”
Mark Twain
