    “The beautiful stranger cuddled Cindy, and she rocked the chair slightly as she spoke softly to her. “Suicide is a problem, not a solution. Humans you love would be hurt deeply if you left them. Becky Johnson and her parents would be crushed. Your grandparents in Florida never forget to mention your name in their evening prayers. I have loved you before and since your first heartbeat. Your father loves you. He will be rightfully proud when I tell him about your brave attempt to protect Pretty Boy.”
    “You will speak to Daddy?”
    “I will.”
    “Please, may I know? Who are you?”
    “I am your guardian angel, Cindy.”
    ― Shafter Bailey, Cindy Divine: The Little Girl Who Frightened Kings

    Tom Hillman
    “Before going to breakfast, you are in your
room experiencing the gongs of a classic religious
    bell, a unique and cuddly invitation to the morning meditation session. In ten minutes it will be 7:00 a.m.—dawn’s brisk reminder that life will never be easy. Mornings are a bit cruel.”

    Carlos Ruiz Zafón
    “The female heart is a labyrinth of subtleties, too challenging for the uncouth mind of the male racketeer. If you really want to possess a woman, you must think like her, and the first thing to do is to win over her soul. The rest, that sweet, soft wrapping that steals away your senses and your virtue, is a bonus.”
    ― Carlos Ruiz Zafón, The Shadow of the Wind

    Jung Chang
    “Louisa and her husband gave their daughters unheard-of-freedom to enjoy Paris to the full. They socialised, frequented the theatre (where they were mesmerized by Sarah Bernhardt) and took dancing lessons with the famed Isodora Duncan. They performed at their parents’ parties and dnaced European-style ballroom dancing with close body contact with foreign men. The family’s lifestyle, including Louisa letting a Frenchman kiss her hand, raised not only eyebrows, but also rancour: the family was denounced to the throne by outraged mission officials.”
    ― Jung Chang, Empress Dowager Cixi: The Concubine Who Launched Modern China

    Peter B. Forster
    “I hope these words will be of some help and comfort to those who read them.
    Nobody knows when they will be tested and there are no right or wrong answers, we are all of us lost when tragedy comes to call. All we can ever do is to be there, give love and do the best we can, often that is all it needs.”
    ― Peter B. Forster, More Than Love, A Husband's Tale
