Never trust anyone who has not brought a book with them. - Lemony Snicket, Horseradish

"If an optimist had his left arm chewed off by an alligator, he might say in a pleasant and hopeful voice, "Well this isn't too bad, I don't have a left arm anymore but at least nobody will ever ask me if I'm left-handed or right-handed,"but most of us would say something more along the lines of, "Aaaaaa! My arm! My arm!"

"There are times to stay put, and what you want will come to you, and there are times to go out into the world and find such a thing for yourself."

"It is difficult, when faced with a situation you cannot control, to admit you can do nothing."

"Siblings that say they never fight are most definitely hiding something"

"Love can change a person the way a parent can change a baby- awkwardly, and often with a great deal of mess."
