The desire to go home that is a desire to be whole, to know where you are, to be the point of intersection of all the lines drawn through all the stars, to be the constellation-maker and the center of the world, that center called love. To awaken from sleep, to rest from awakening, to tame the animal, to let the soul go wild, to shelter in darkness and blaze with light, to cease to speak and be perfectly understood. - By Rebecca Solnit, Storming the Gates of Paradise: Landscapes for Politics

I love you. It hurts more than anything ever has, but I do. So don't you dare tell me I don't. Don't you ever say it again! - By Jenny Downham, Before I Die

People aren't born good or bad. Maybe they're born with tendencies either way, but its the way you live your life that matters. - By Cassandra Clare, City of Glass

Everything with me is either worship and passion or pity and understanding. I hate rarely, though when I hate, I hate murderously. For example now, I hate the bank and everything connected with it. I also hate Dutch paintings, penis-sucking, parties, and cold rainy weather. But I am much more preoccupied with loving. - By Anaïs Nin, Henry and June: From "A Journal of Love"--The Unexpurgated Diary of Anaïs Nin

Clocks slay time... time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels - By only when the clock stops does time come to life.

Above all else, guard your heart for it affects everything else you do. - By Anonymous, Holy Bible: New International Version
