- follow your dreams
Follow your dreams, quit your job, drop out of school. Tell your boyfriend that he’s lousy and walk out the door. This is your time. This is your life. Dream as big as you want to. It’s the cheapest thing you’ll ever do. Wake up tomorrow and live your dreams, no matter what.

- Succubus Blues
My inebriated state at his condo. A swell of protectiveness as he led me to bed, watching me hours after I’d gone to seep. He thought no less of me for the weakness, for my lapse of control and judgement. It was a letting down of my walls for him, a sign of imperfection that made him love me more.
JK Rowling
- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
You were the seventh Horcrux, Harry, the Horcrux he never meant to make. He had rendered his soul so unstable that it broke apart when he committed those acts of unspeakable evil, the murder of your parents, the attempted killing of a child. But what escaped from that room was even less than he knew. He left more than his body behind. He left part of himself latched to you, the would-be victim who had survived.

- Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
He could not draw breath. He could not bear to look at any of the other bodies, to see who else had died for him. He could not bear to join the Weasleys, could not look into their eyes, when if he had given himself up in the first place, Fred might never have died. He turned away and ran up the marble staircase. Lupin, Tonks... He yearned not to feel. He wished he could rip out his heart, his innards, everything that was screaming inside him.

"No! Fred! No!" And Percy was shaking his brother, and Ron was kneeling beside them, and Fred’s eyes stared without seeing, the ghost of his last laugh still etched upon his face.

Hermione was screaming again: the sound went through Harry like physical pain. Barely conscious of the fierce prickling of his scar, he too started to run around the cellar, feeling the walls for he hardly knew what, knowing in his heart that it was useless. "What else did you take, what else? Answer me! CRUCIO!" Hermione’s screams echoed off the walls upstairs, and Ron was half sobbing as he pounded the walls with his fists.

Ron had a fit of gallantry and insisted that Hermione sleep on the cushions from the sofa, so that her silhouette was raised above his. Her arm curved to the floor, her fingers inches from Ron’s. Harry wondered whether they had fallen asleep holding hands. The idea made him feel strangely lonely.

- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Now I want you to listen to me closely. You’re not a bad person. You’re a very good person, who bad things have happened to. Do you understand? Besides, the world isn’t split into good people and Death Eaters. We have all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the power we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.
JK Rowling
- Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone
Yes and no. It shows us nothing more or less than the deepest, most desperate desire of our hearts. You, who have never known your family, see them standing around you. Ronald Weasley, who has always been overshadowed by his brothers, sees himself standing alone, the best of all of them. However, this mirror will give us neither knowledge or truth. Men have wasted away before it, entranced by what they have seen, or been driven mad, not knowing if what it shows is real or even possible.

But from that moment on, Hermione Granger became their friend. There are some things you can’t share without ending up liking each other, and knocking out a twelve-foot mountain troll is one of them.

- Bite My Tongue
I'm married to the music, for better or for worse. You say that I'm privileged, but my gift is my curse. I can't recall the last time, someone asking how I was. The last I checked, I was a wreck, I called for help and no-one showed up.
Margaret Stohl
- Beautiful Creatures
I had the same sick feeling every time I lost her. She slipped through my fingers, and my stomach dropped right out of me - the way you feel when you’re on a rollercoaster and the car takes a big drop. Butterflies in your stomach. That was such a crappy metaphor. More like killer bees.

- Keith (film)
I don’t care where you’re gonna be next year, I don’t care if you’re crazy. God, I just know I wanna be with you. I don’t understand what you’re doing, it seems so pointless. I mean, everything seems so pointless but when I’m with you it’s different and I don’t know why.
Ben Sherwood
- The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud
This was the end. He was finished with waiting for sundown every night to play catch with a loving ghost. He was through with the boundaries of those circles on the map. And, most of all, he was done with being alone.

- music
Never underestimate a girl’s love for her favourite band. Never think for even a minute, that she won’t defend them to her death. Because it’s not just the music that makes the band her favourite. It’s the guys, the gals. It’s the fans. People of whom she has interacted with thanks to the band. That band might of saved her life, or just made her smile every day. That band has never broken her heart and has yet to leave her. no wonder she finds such joy in her music.

- Friends
The closest friends you'll ever have are the ones you'd take a bullet for, but they're the ones you constantly feel you could put a bullet in as well.

- Six Feet Under The Stars
"Six Feet Under The Stars" is a place that doesn’t exist. It’s a place in your mind where everything and anything is possible. It’s a place with no rules or limitations. It’s a place where only two people can be at a time where no one can judge them and no one could try to break them apart.
C.S Lewis
- To love
To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.
Lemony Snicket
- Trust
Deciding whether or not to trust a person is like deciding whether or not to climb a tree because you might get a wonderful view from the highest branch or you might simply get covered in sap and for this reason many people choose to spend their time alone and indoors where it is harder to get a splinter.
