Literature makes history come to life. It is maybe the most accurate depiction of history, especially literature that was written in the time period depicted in the story.

Someone told me once that to create true art you must be willing to bleed and let others watch.

Everybody is a main character to someone

It's hard to come to terms with the fact that you aren't going to be loved the way you want to be loved.

You loved ferris wheels more than roller coasters because life shouldn’t be lived at full speed, but in anticipation and appreciation.

Everybody who is somebody becomes nobody the moment they fail

Caring about someone doesn't mean taking care of them.
