"Disclaimer: I was given an ARC of The Poet's Eye, but all opinions are my own.

The Poet's Eye by Laura VanArendonk Baugh

C.S. Lewis
“Once a king or queen of Narnia, always a king or queen of Narnia.”
C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

L.M. Montgomery
“Oh yes, I don't deny I married you because I was sorry for you. And then-I found you the best and jolliest and dearest little pal and chum a fellow ever had. Witty-loyal-sweet. You made me believe again in the reality of friendship and love.”
L.M. Montgomery

Gary Chapman
“I am amazed by how many individuals mess up every new day with yesterday.”
Gary Chapman, The Five Love Languages: How to Express Heartfelt Commitment to Your Mate

Jane Austen
“From the very beginning— from the first moment, I may almost say— of my acquaintance with you, your manners, impressing me with the fullest belief of your arrogance, your conceit, and your selfish disdain of the feelings of others, were such as to form the groundwork of disapprobation on which succeeding events have built so immovable a dislike; and I had not known you a month before I felt that you were the last man in the world whom I could ever be prevailed on to marry.”
Jane Austen, Pride and Prejudice

“Always tell the truth. It's the easiest thing to remember.”
David Mamet
