    surging through its body.”
    Edward Hirsch

    Criss Jami

    Margaret Mitchell
    “I wish to Heaven I was married," she said resentfully as she attacked the yams with loathing. "I'm tired of everlastingly being unnatural and never doing anything I want to do. I'm tired of acting like I don't eat more than a bird, and walking when I want to run and saying I feel faint after a waltz, when I could dance for two days and never get tired. I'm tired of saying, 'How wonderful you are!' to fool men who haven't got one-half the sense I've got, and I'm tired of pretending I don't know anything, so men can tell me things and feel important while they're doing it... I can't eat another bite.”
    Margaret Mitchell, Gone with the Wind

    “The moon is a loyal companion.
    It never leaves. It’s always there, watching, steadfast, knowing us in our light and dark moments, changing forever just as we do. Every day it’s a different version of itself. Sometimes weak and wan, sometimes strong and full of light. The moon understands what it means to be human.
    Uncertain. Alone. Cratered by imperfections.”
    Tahereh Mafi, Shatter Me

    “She didn't quite know what the relationship was between lunatics and the moon, but it must be a strong one, if they used a word like that to describe the insane.”
    Paulo Coelho, Veronika Decides to Die

    “I got schooled this year
    by
    a
    boy
    .

    A boy that I'm seriously, deeply, madly, incredibly, and undeniably in love with.
    And he taught me the most important thing of all...

    To put the emphasis
    On life .”
    Colleen Hoover, Slammed

    Colleen Hoover
    “There are three questions every woman should be able to answer yes to before they commit to a man. If you answer no to any of the three questions, run like hell."
    [...]
    "Does he treat you with respect at all times? That's the first question. The second question is, if he is the exact same person twenty years from now that he is today, would you still want to marry him? And finally, does he inspire to be a better person? You find someone you can answer yes to all three, then you've found a good man.”
    Colleen Hoover, Slammed
