Quote from Marissa Meyer, Cress
Maybe there isnât such a thing as fate. Maybe itâs just the opportunities weâre given, and what we do with them. Iâm beginning to think that maybe great, epic romances donât just happen. We have to make them ourselves.

Quote from Mohadesa Najumi
Most of us respond with panic when we get what we want. The moment of victory is often the moment of greatest peril. We let success get to our head and start acting in over-confident ways. This is the beginning of self-destruction

Quote from John Piper, Good News of Great Joy: Daily Readings for Advent
The only people who soul can truly magnify the Lord are…people who acknowledge their lowly estate and are overwhelmed by the condescension of the magnificent God.

Quote from Lisa Unger, Beautiful Lies
When you start to really know someone, all his physical characteristics start to disappear. You begin to dwell in his energy, recognize the scent of his skin. You see only the essence of the person, not the shell. That’s why you can’t fall in love with beauty. You can lust after it, be infatuated by it, want to own it. You can love it with your eyes and body but not your heart. And that’s why, when you really connect with a person’s inner self, any physical imperfections disappear, become irrelevant.

Quote from Ha-Joon Chang, Economics: The User’s Guide
The issue of false consciousness is a genuinely difficult problem that has no definite solution. We should not approve of an unequal and brutal society because surveys show that people are happy. But who has the right to tell those oppressed women or starving landless peasants that they shouldnât be happy, if they think they are? Does anyone have the right to make those people feel miserable by telling them the âtruthâ? There are no easy answers to these questions, but they definitely tell us that we cannot rely on âsubjectiveâ happiness surveys to decide how well people are doing.

Quote from Louise Hay
I grew up with absolutely no religion at all, and it was probably one of the best things that happened to me. I didn’t have to unlearn anything.

Quote from John Masters, 2 Pork Chops!
As a child I had been taught to say my prayers at the start of every day, and so it did not seem an odd thing for me to stand out in the field and say “Oh God whatever happens today let it be under your perfect control.

Quote from Doreen Orion, Queen of the Road: The True Tale of 47 States, 22,000 Miles, 200 Shoes, 2 Cats, 1 Poodle, a Husband, and a Bus with a Will of Its Own
As Tim followed me up the narrow stairwell, he playfully pinched my butt with every step, a pleasant (and painful–in a black-and-blue sort of way) reminder that all I had yearned for as a student twenty-five years before had come true, even if I hadn’t taken the time to notice it until now: I was happy. At twenty years old, had I articulated what I thought I needed in life, I would have probably said a big house, a successful husband, and a great career. Yet all I really needed for true happiness was the homeless, unemployed bus driver right behind me, pinching my butt every step of the way.
