"Don't say negative things about your spouse and children."

"When I was your age, television was called books."

"Books wrote our life story, and as they accumulated on our shelves (and on our windowsills, and underneath our sofa, and on top of our refrigerator), they became chapters in it themselves."

"I can't not put humor in a book."

"Don't call yourself discouraged anymore;it's no longer your name."

"Man is like a bride unto God. God is jealous when man veers away from Him."

"It was odd, (Tessa thought), what brought out tenderness in people."

"Any self-defense class worth its salt will tell you thatyou don’t pull out a weapon unless you intend to use it.The same should apply to ballsy remarks."

"I'm a huge classics fan. I love Ernest Hemingway and J.D. Salinger. I'm that guy who rereads a book before I read newer stuff, which is probably not all that progressive, and it's not really going to make me a better reader. I'm like, 'Oh, my God, you should read To Kill a Mockingbird.'"

"I wanted to live among books."

"Your words are powerful so what you say goes a long way to either establish or destroy you; this is why you should say things that God has said concerning you, not things that situations or circumstances say."

"Some things are just like riding a bicycle; you jump on, pedal, and hope you don’t fall."

"Create your world with God's Word in your mouth just say it and it will be accomplished!"

"Our society accepts the book as a given, but the act of reading -- once considered useful and important, as well as potentially dangerous and subversive -- is now condescendingly accepted as a pastime, a slow pastime that lacks efficiency and does not contribute to the common good."

"Keep your best wishes, close to your heart and watch what happens"

"I choose to write because it's perfect for me. It's an escape, a place I can go to hide. It's a friend, when I feel out casted from everyone else. It's a journal, when the only story I can tell is my own. It's a book, when I need to be somewhere else. It's control, when I feel so out of control. It's healing, when everything seems pretty messed up.And it's fun, when life is just flat-out boring."

"God rewards every act of obedience to His Will."

"Don't blow off another's candle for it won't make yours shine brighter."

"I like best to have one book in my hand, and a stack of others on the floor beside me, so as to know the supply of poppy and mandragora will not run out before the small hours."

"Think of what starlight And lamplight would lack Diamonds and fireflies If they couldn’t lean against Black. . . ."
