❝ Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them. ❞
- RALPH WALDO EMERSON



❝ You don't read, you don't understand. You don't know what it's like to live in different worlds, to travel on great adventures through the galexy with people you know better than you know your own family, to live and die with them. These are my
friends. ❞

- BRICK HECK



❝ One is left with the horrible feeling now that war settles nothing; that to win a war is as disastrous as to lose one. ❞
- AGATHA CHRISTIE




❝ Love at first sight is easy to understand. It's when two people have been looking at each other for years that it becomes a miracle. ❞
- SAM LEVENSON




❝For there is nothing heavier than compassion. Not even one's own pain weighs so heavy as the pain one feels with someone, for someone, a pain intensified by the imagination and prolonged by a hundred echoes. ❞

❝ Nobody said it would be easy. They just promised that it would be worth it. ❞
- ANONYMOUS




❝ "If you take a book with you on a journey," Mo had said when he put the first one in her box, "an odd thing happens: The book begins collecting your memories. And forever after you have only to open that book to be back where you first read it. It will all come into your mind with the very first words: the sights you saw in that place, what it smelled like, the ice cream you ate while you were reading it... yes, books are like flypaper—memories cling to the printed page better than anything else." ❞
- CORNELIA FUNKE




❝ She went with Ron and Harry because she has a really good heart. That's not about brain. Ultimately, she had a bigger heart than she had a brain and that's saying something for Hermione. But did she- Was she naturally drawn to battle? No, she wasn't. She's not a Bellatrix. She's not a woman who actually wants to be hurting, fighting, killing. Not at all. ❞
- JK ROWLING




❝ If your appearance is all people see, they have no respect for your mind. ❞
- TRUDI CANAVAN




❝ There is no shame in not knowing something. The shame is not being willing to learn. ❞
- ALISON CROGGON




❝ Everybody is special. Everybody. Everybody is a hero, a lover, a fool, a villain. Everybody. Everybody has their story to tell. ❞
- ALAN MOORE




❝ The best moments in reading are when you come across something - a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things - that you'd thought special, particular to you. And here it is, set down by someone else, a person you've never met, maybe even someone long dead. And it's as if a hand has come out and taken yours. ❞
- UNKNOWN



❝ 'Because,' she said, 'when you're scared but you still do it anyway, that's brave.' ❞
- NEIL GAIMAN
