    William Shakespeare
    “The course of true love never did run smooth; But, either it was different in blood,
    O cross! too high to be enthrall’d to low.
    Or else misgraffed in respect of years,
    O spite! too old to be engag’d to young.
    Or else it stood upon the choice of friends,
    O hell! to choose love by another’s eye.”
    ― William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream

    “I believe that everything in this life has a reason; we may not always understand it when it happens. But I don’t think we are meant to always get an explanation. If you are lucky enough to find the one person who can see all the things wrong with you and not want to change one of them, that’s what you call, true love.”

    “GIRL, write YOUR book dammit.
    Who cares what people think?
    If writers in the past cared what other people thought we'd still be glossing over 'inappropriate' kissing scenes.
    Break the fucking rules.
    Push yourself to the edge.
    Show the world what YOU can do.
    This is YOUR book. YOUR blood and guts.
    AND, don't you EVER, EVER, write one single line for SOMEONE ELSE.”

    “One of these days Princess, I promise you.”

    I turned to scowl at him once more, “I would never be desperate enough to want you.” Okay that was a lie; my breaths were already quickening just feeling his sculpted body pressed against mine.

    His smile was slow and sexy, “We'll see.”
