    Lisa See
    “We hug, but there are no tears. For every awful thing that's been said and done, she is my sister. Parents die, daughters grow up and marry out, but sisters are for life. She is the only person left in the world who shares my memories of our childhood, our parents, our Shanghai, our struggles, our sorrows, and, yes, even our moments of happiness and triumph. My sister is the one person who truly knows me, as I know her. The last thing May says to me is 'When our hair is white, we'll still have our sister love.”
    Lisa See, Shanghai Girls

    Meg Cabot
    “In a way, I was incrediibly proud of her (not that I had any intention of letting it show while I was beating the crap out of her).”
    Meg Cabot

  • #3
    Jodi Picoult
    “I have a sister, so I know-that relationship, it's all about fairness: you want your sibling to have exactly what you have-the same amount of toys, the same number of meatballs on your spaghetti, the same share of love. But being a mother is completely different. You want your child to have more than you ever did. You want to build a fire underneath her and watch her soar. It's bigger than words.”
    Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper

  • #4
    Suzanne Collins
    “The anguish I always feel when she's in pain wells up in my chest and threatens to register on my face.”
    Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games

    Marcus Tullius Cicero

    Mahatma Gandhi

    Robert Frost

    Martin Luther King Jr., A Testament of Hope: The Essential Writings and Speeches

    Laurell K. Hamilton
    “I will love you always. When this red hair is white, I will still love you. When the smooth softness of youth is replaced by the delicate softness of age, I will still want to touch your skin. When your face is full of the lines of every smile you have ever smiled, of every surprise I have seen flash through your eyes, when every tear you have ever cried has left its mark upon your face,I will treasure you all the more, because I was there to see it all. I will share your life with you, Meredith, and I will love you until the last breath leaves your body or mine.”
    Laurell K. Hamilton, A Lick of Frost

    Shana Abe
    “I heard what you said. I’m not the silly romantic you think. I don’t want the heavens or the shooting stars. I don’t want gemstones or gold. I have those things already. I want…a steady hand. A kind soul. I want to fall asleep, and wake, knowing my heart is safe. I want to love, and be loved.”
    Shana Abe

    David Levithan
    “livid, adj.

    Fuck You for cheating on me. Fuck you for reducing it to the word cheating. As if this were a card game, and you sneaked a look at my hand. Who came up with the term cheating, anyway? A cheater, I imagine. Someone who thought liar was too harsh. Someone who thought devastator was too emotional. The same person who thought, oops, he’d gotten caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Fuck you. This isn’t about slipping yourself an extra twenty dollars of Monopoly money. These are our lives. You went and broke our lives. You are so much worse than a cheater. You killed something. And you killed it when its back was turned.”
    David Levithan, The Lover's Dictionary

    Shannon L. Alder
    “When you find a guy who calls you beautiful instead of hot, who calls you back when you hang up on him, who will stand in front of you when other’s cast stones, or will stay awake just to watch you sleep, who wants to show you off to the world when you are in sweats, who will hold your hand when your sick, who thinks your pretty without makeup, the one who turns to his friends and say, ‘that’s her’, the one that would bear your rejection because losing you means losing his will to live, who kisses you when you screw up, watches the stars and names one for you and will hold and rock that baby for hours so you can sleep…..you marry him all over again.”
    Shannon Alder

    “There comes a time in your life when you have to choose to turn the page, write another book or simply close it.”
    Shannon L. Alder

  • #17
    Shannon L. Alder
    “If a man, who says he loves you, won’t tell you the details of a private conversation between him and another woman you can be sure he is not protecting your heart. He is protecting himself and the women he has feelings for. Wise women simply see things as they are, not as their low self-esteem allows.”
    Shannon L. Alder

    Shannon L. Alder
    “A best friend is the only one that walks into your life when the world has walked out.”
    Shannon l. Alder

  • #19
    Shannon L. Alder
    “If you have feelings for someone, let them know. It doesn’t matter if they can be in your life or not. Maybe, it is just enough for both of you to release the truth, so healing can occur. The opposite is true, as well. If you don’t have feelings for someone then never let another person suggest that you do. Protect your reputation and be responsible for the wrong information spread about you. Never allow anyone to live with a false belief or unfounded hope about you. An honorable person sets the record straight, so that person can move on with their life.”
    Shannon L. Alder

    Shannon L. Alder
    “A woman or man of value doesn’t love you because of what he or she wants you to be or do for them. He or she loves you because your combined souls understand one another, complements each other, and make sense above any other person in this world. You each share a part of their soul's mirror and see each other’s light reflected in it clearly. You can easily speak from the heart and feel safe doing so. Both of you have been traveling a parallel road your entire life. Without each other's presence, you feel like an old friend or family member was lost. It bothers you, not because you have given it too much meaning, but because God did. This is the type of person you don't have to fight for because you can't get rid of them and your heart doesn't want them to leave anyways.”
    Shannon L. Alder

    Shannon L. Alder
    “When I was a child, an angel came to say,
    A true friend is coming my warrior to sweep you away,
    It won’t be easy the path because it leads through hell,
    But if you’re faithful, it will be the greatest story to tell,
    You will move God’s daughters to a place of hope,
    Your story will teach everyone there is nothing they can’t cope,
    You will suffer a lot, but not one tear will you waste,
    Because for all that you do for me, you will be graced,
    For I am bringing you someone that wants to travel your trail,
    Someone you already met when you passed through heaven’s veil,
    A warrior, a friend that whispers your heart’s song,
    Someone that will run with you and pull your spirit along,
    Don’t you see the timing was love's fated throw,
    Because I put you both there to help one another grow,
    I am the writer of all great stories your chapters were written by me,
    You suffered, you cried because I needed you to see,
    That your faith in my ending goes far beyond two,
    It was going to change more hearts than both of you knew,
    So hush my child and wait for my loving hand,
    The last chapter is not written and still in the sand,
    It is up to you to finish, before the tide washes it away,
    All that is in your heart, I’ve put there for you to say,
    This is not about winning, loss or pain,
    I made you the way you are because true love stories are insane,
    I wrote you in heaven as I sat on its sandy shore,
    You know with all of my heart I loved you both more,
    There is no better ending two people seeing each other's heart,
    Together your spirits will never drift apart,
    Because two kindred spirits is what I made you to be,
    The waves and beach crashing together because of-- ME.”
    Shannon L. Alder

    August Wilson, Fences

    - Troy -”
    August Wilson, Fences

  • #28
    August Wilson
    “Don't you think I ever wanted other things? Don't you think I had dreams and hopes? What about my life? What about me. Don't you think it ever crossed my mind to want to know other men? That I wanted to lay up somewhere and forget about my responsibilities? That I wanted someone to make me laugh so I could feel good? You not the only one who's got wants and needs. But I held on to you, Troy. I took all my feelings, my wants and needs, my dreams...and I buried them inside you. I planted myself inside you and waited to bloom. And it didn't take me no eighteen years to find out the soil was hard and rocky and it wasn't never gonna bloom.”
    August Wilson, Fences

  • #29
    August Wilson
    “I ain't never found no place for me to fit. Seem like all I do is start over. It ain't nothing to find no starting place in the world. You just start from where you find yourself.”
    August Wilson, Joe Turner's Come and Gone

  • #30
    August Wilson
    “When your daddy walked through the house he was so big he filled it up. That was my first mistake. Not to make him leave room for me.”
