There is no shame in not knowing something. The shame is in not being willing to learn.
'You can go home now,' Tom told us.
'We'll meet next week. Then we can rob somebody and kill some people.'

I think that maybe forgiveness is like change - it comes in small steps.

2But you’re everything I want. Remember that. I love you, Lia. Not a title. And not because a piece of paper says I should. Because I do.
Faith and science, I have learned, are two sides of the same coin, separated by an expanse so small, but wide enough that one side can't see the other. They don't know they are connected.
Mary E. Pearson in The Jenna Fox Chronicles - The Adoration of Jenna Fox
2If one can't be trusted in love, one can't be trusted in anything. Some things can't be forgiven.
Today was the day a thousand dreams would die and a single dream would be born.
We had a terrible start… doesn’t mean we can’t have a better ending.
Maybe there was no one way to define it. Maybe there were as many shades of love as the blues of the sky.
Some things aren't meant to be known. Only believed.
Mary E. Pearson in The Jenna Fox Chronicles - The Adoration of Jenna Fox
2It can take years to mold a dream. It takes only a fraction of a second for it to be shattered.
"People are islands," she said. "They don't really touch. However close they are, they're really quite separate. Even if they've been married for fifty years."

2You only live twice:
Once when you are born
And once when you look death in the face

And once when you look death in the face

2Surround yourself with human beings, my dear James. They are easier to fight for than principles.

1The most beautiful experience we can have is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of true art and true science. Whoever does not know it and can no longer wonder, no longer marvel, is as good as dead, and his eyes are dimmed.
The Germans are exceedingly fond of Rhine wines; they are put up in tall, slender bottles, and are considered a pleasant beverage. One tells them from vinegar by the label.
That's the difference between governments and individuals. Governments don't care, individuals do.
I went often to look at the collection of curiosities in Heidelberg Castle, and one day I surprised the keeper of it with my German. I spoke entirely in that language. He was greatly interested; and after I had talked a while he said my German was very rare, possibly a 'unique'; and wanted to add it to his museum.
All grown-ups were once children... but only few of them remember it.
Qui facit per alium facit per se. He who does a thing by the agency of another does it himself.
I'm broken and healing, but every piece of my heart belongs to you.

4He locked you up because he knew- the bastard knew what a treasure you are. That you are worth more than land or gold or jewels . He knew, and wanted to keep you all to himself.

3It had been love, and I meant it- the happiness, the lust, the peace... I'd felt all of those things.
Once.
Once.

3Grief is an amputation, but hope is incurable haemophilia: you bleed and bleed and bleed.
It's our nature. We destroy. It's the constant of our kind. No matter the color of blood, man will always fall.
In the fairy tales, the poor girl smiles when she becomes a princess. Right now, I don't know if I'll ever smile again.
In school, we learned about the world before ours, about the angels and gods that lived in the sky, ruling the earth with kind and loving hands. Some say those are just stories, but I don't believe that.
The gods rule us still, they have come down from the stars. And they are no longer kind.

The truth is what I make it. I could set this world on fire and call it rain.

"Because no one can catch the motherf*cking fox."

I want to have friends that I can trust and who love me for the Person I am not the person I was.
I held her close to me with my eyes closed, wonering if anything in my life had ever been this perfect and knowing at the same time that it hadn't. I was in love, and the feeling was even more wonderful than I ever imagined it could be.
'Do you love me?' I asked her. She smiled. 'Yes.' 'Do you want me to be happy?' as I asked her this I felt my heart beginning to race. 'Of course I do.' 'Will you do something for me then?' She looked away, sadness crossing her features. 'I don't know if I can anymore.' she said. 'but if you could, would you?' I cannot adequately describe the intensity of what I was feeling at that moment. Love, anger, sadness, hope, and fear, whirling together sharpened by the nervousness I was feeling. Jamie looked at me curiously and my breaths became shallower. Suddenly I knew that I'd never felt as strongly for another person as I did at that moment. As I returned her gaze, this simple realization made me wish for the millionth time that I could make all this go away. Had it been possible, I would have traded my life for hers. I wanted to tell her my thoughts, but the sound of her voice suddenly silenced the emotions inside me. 'yes' she finally said, her voice weak yet somehow still full of promise. 'I would.' Finally getting control of myself I kissed her again, then brought my hand to her face, gently running my fingers over her cheek. I marveled at the softness of her skin, the gentleness I saw in her eyes. even now she was perfect. My throat began to tighten again, but as I said, I knew what I had to do. Since I had to accept that it was not within my power to cure her, what I wanted to do was give her something that she'd wanted. It was what my heart had been telling me to do all along. Jamie, I understood then, had already given me the answer I'd been searching for, the answer my heart needed to find. She'd told me outside Mr. Jenkins office, the night we'd asked him about doing the play. I smiled softly, and she returned my affection with a slight squeeze of my hand, as if trusting me in what I was about to do. Encouraged, I leaned closer and took a deep breath. When I exhaled, these were the words that flowed with my breath. 'Will you marry me?'
If you expect the worst from a person you can never be disappointed.
