Yann Martel
- Life of Pi
Why do people move? What makes them uproot and leave everything they've known for a great unknown beyond the horizon? Why climb this Mount Everest of formalities that makes you feel like a beggar? Why enter this jungle of foreignness where everything is new, strange and difficult? The answer is the same the world over: people move in the hope of a better life.
Yann Martel
- Life of Pi
These people fail to realize that it is on the inside that God must be defended, not on the outside. They should direct their anger at themselves. For evil in the open is but evil from within that has been let out. The main battlefield for good is not the open ground of the public area but the small clearing of each heart. Meanwhile, the lot of widows and homeless children is very hard, and it is to their defense, not God's, that the self-righteous should rush.

- mistakes
When you are writing a paper with pen and make a mistake, you use white-out to erase and redo. There are some things you have to realize that in life, there are no white-outs or redo buttons.
Jill Shalvis
- Get a Clue
I've heard that men are like fine wine. They began as grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the shit out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with. Me, I just want to do the stomping.

Life tends to be a lot easier and you stay sane if you deal with the present and look toward the future, instead of dwelling on the past you can't do anything about.
Sarah Dessen
The more you run from your past, it not only catches up to you, but it overtakes you. It blots out the future until there are no more paths left to take.

- what could've happened
You can spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, or even months over-analyzing a situation trying to put the pieces together, justifying what could've happened, would've happened... or you can just leave the pieces on the floor and move on.

- let me live
That which does not kill me can only make me stronger. And I don't see why everybody feel as though that they gotta tell me how to live my life. Let me live baby, let me live.
