“Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none”
All’s Well That Ends Well
“I used to dream about escaping my ordinary life, but my life was never ordinary. I had simply failed to notice how extraordinary it was.”
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children
“IN THE beginning, Bartholomew Cubbins didn’t have five hundred hats. He had only one hat. It was an old one that had belonged to his father and his father’s father before him. It was probably the oldest and the plainest hat in the whole Kingdom of Didd, where Bartholomew Cubbins lived. But Bartholomew liked it — especially because of the feather that always pointed straight up in the air.”
The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins
“Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do.”
P.S. I Love You
“If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself.”
Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief
“The apparition of these faces in the crowd;
Petals on a wet, black bough.”
“In a Station of the Metro”
“The goal isn’t to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.”
Diary
“I placed a jar in Tennessee,
And round it was, upon a hill.
It made the slovenly wilderness
Surround that hill.

The wilderness rose up to it,
And sprawled around, no longer wild.
The jar was round upon the ground
And tall and of a port in air.

It took dominion everywhere.
The jar was gray and bare.
It did not give of bird or bush,
Like nothing else in Tennessee.”
“Anecdote of the Jar”
“But it didn’t break me. Nothing can break me unless I let it.”
Fangirl
“Consider the auk;
Becoming extinct because he forgot how to fly, and could only walk.
Consider man, who may well become extinct
Because he forgot how to walk and learned how to fly before he thinked.”
“A Caution to Everybody”
Chuck Palahniuk
Dr. Seuss
Ezra Pound
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
Ogden Nash
