    Nicholas Sparks
    “Do you want a cookie?
    - What?
    - A cookie. Like an Oreo. Do you want one?
    - No.
    - How can you not want a cookie?
    - I just don't.
    - Okay, fine,let's say you did want a cookie. Let's say you were dying for a cookie, and there were cookies in the cupboard. What would you do?
    - I'd eat a cookie?
    - Exactly. That's all I'm saying.
    - What are you saying?
    - That if people want cookies, they should get a cookie. It's what people do.
    - Let me guess. Dad won't let you have a
    cookie?
    - No. Even though I'm practically starving to death, he won't even consider it. He says I have to have a sandwich first.
    - And you don't think that's fair.
    - You just said you'd get a cookie if you wanted one. So why can't I? I'm not a little kid. I can make my own decisions.
    - Hmm. I can see why this bothers you so
    much.
    - It's not fair. If he wants a cookie, he can have one. If you want a cookie,
    you can have one. But if I want a cookie, the rules don't count. Like you
    said, it's not fair.
    - So what are you going to do?
    - I'm going to eat a sandwich. Because I have to. Because the world isn't fair
    to ten-year-olds.”
    Nicholas Sparks, The Last Song

    Katherine Paterson

    “I'm telling you, you really should stick to mating within your species, whatever that is.'

    'I would,' I said, 'but unfortunately, there are no gorgeous, all-powerful, all-knowing gods around here. I'd even settle for a demigod. It's a step down, I know. But alas, there are nothing but low-brained mortals here. And half-brains, like you.”

    Kristin Walker
    “We were in such good moods, we even decided to hit Todd's house for candy. Sam rang the doorbell, and when it opened, this hideous, rubber monster face roared at us. Sam screamed. Todd started laughing and took off the mask. I yelled, "Put it back on! Put it back on! Your hideousness is terrifying!"
    Todd did a fake yuk-yuk-yuk at my joke. "What are you guys supposed to be? Is it Prom Night Massacre or something?"
    Sam sighed at Todd's obvious stupidity. "We're zombie princesses, Todd. Can't you tell?" She stuck her arms straight out in front of her and said, "BRAINS! BRAINS!"
    I patted Sam on the head and said, "Sorry, Sam. You're wasting your time with this one.”

    Jody Gehrman
    “Are you mad?" I ask.
    "I was." He glances at the ceiling then back at me. "Or confused, anyway. The whole thing threw me through for a loop. I thought I'd finally met a guy at Underwood I could relate to, and it turns out he wasn't a guy at all."
    I swallow. "I can see how that would be weird."
    "In a way though, I was relieved."
    "Relieved?" I echo. "Why?"
    He looks around embarrased. "Let's just say you had me questioning my sexual orientation.”
    Jody Gehrman, Babe in Boyland

    "Not necessarily. I turn myself down occasionally, just to keep it interesting.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

    “Everyone’s had shit in their lives. Some people have it worse than others. But no one can turn you into a bad person, just like no one can turn you into a good one. We’re all dealt our hands in life, and how we choose to react is entirely up to us. That’s free will.”
