“Becoming fearless isn’t the point. That’s impossible. It’s learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.”
Divergent
“People aren’t born good or bad. Maybe they’re born with tendencies either way, but it’s the way you live your life that matters.”
City of Glass
“When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind.”
Wonder
“Once upon a time, son,
they used to laugh with their hearts
and laugh with their eyes:
but now they only laugh with their teeth,
while their ice-block-cold eyes
search behind my shadow.”
“Once Upon a Time”
“The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.”
As You Like It
“It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”
The Alchemist
“There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.”
“Where the Sidewalk Ends”
“But Horton kept sitting, and said with a sneeze,
‘I’ll stay on this egg and I won’t let it freeze.
I meant what I said
And I said what I meant. . . .
An elephant’s faithful
One hundred per cent!’”
Horton Hatches the Egg
“More than a catbird hates a cat,
Or a criminal hates a clue,
Or the Axis hates the United States,
That's how much I love you.

I love you more than a duck can swim,
And more than a grapefruit squirts,
I love you more than a gin rummy is a bore,
And more than a toothache hurts.

As a shipwrecked sailor hates the sea,
Or a juggler hates a shove,
As a hostess detests unexpected guests,
That's how much you I love.

I love you more than a wasp can sting,
And more than the subway jerks,
I love you as much as a beggar needs a crutch,
And more than a hangnail irks.

I swear to you by the stars above,
And below, if such there be,
As the High Court loathes perjurious oathes,
That's how you're loved by me.”
“To My Valentine”
“Names are not important. It’s what lies inside of you that matters.”
