Things spoken can be forgotten and forgiven, but the written word has the power to change the course of history, to alter our lives.

Reading was my only escape from reality. Through books, I could be whoever I wanted. I could fall in love with the handsome prince, travel to exotic places, and take the leap that almost always had a happy ending.

Your home is your jail, Bird. I'm going to set you free.

Love comes from the heart, lust comes ...lower

There is the easy way and there is my way.

You can't love someone just by looking at them. That is lust. Not saying love can't come fast, but it doesn't come first.

Always follow your dreams, even if they lead you down a few dark alleys.
