The Snow Angel - Glenn Beck
“Never forget who you are; a daughter of a Heavenly Father. You have royal heritage, and anyone who makes you feel like less that is not a man,husband,father, or friend,simply someone who is afraid of you because he knows who you are, but doesn't know who he is.”

The Christmas Sweater (2008)
“Everyone needs a place where they can go to just ponder for a while. Silence is important; it's the only time you can hear the whispering of truth.”
“You can either complain about how hard your life is, or you can realize that only you are responsible for it.”

Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas - James Patterson_II
“Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls. The balls are called work, family, health, friends, and integrity. And you're keeping all of them in the air. But one day you finally come to understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls...are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.”

“We’re constantly changing facts, rewriting history to make things easier, to make them fit in with our preferred version of events. We do it automatically. We invent memories. Without thinking. If we tell ourselves something happened often enough we start to believe it, and then we can actually remember it.”

The Wedding - Nicholas Sparks
“But love, I’ve come to understand, is more than three words mumbled before bedtime. Love is sustained by action, a pattern of devotion in the things we do for each other every day.”
“It's funny, but have you ever noticed that the more special something is, the more people seem to take it for granted? It's like they think it won't ever change. Just like this house here. All it ever needed was a little attention, and it would never have ended up like this in the first place.”

The Fifth Mountain - Paulo Coelho
“All life's battles teach us something, even those we lose. When you grow up, you'll discover that you have defended lies, deceived yourself, or suffered foolishness. If you're a good warrior you will not blame yourself for this, but neither will you allow your mistakes to repeat themselves.”

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan - Lisa See
“I am still learning about love. I thought I understood it--not just mother love, but the love for one's parents, for one's husband, and for one's laotong. I've experienced the other types of love--pity love, respectful love and gratitude love. But looking at our secret fan with its messages written between Snow Flower and me over many years, I see that I didn't value the most important love--deep-heart love.”

Hallowed - Cynthia Hand
“I’ve learned that a storm isn’t always just bad weather, and a fire can be the start of something. I’ve found out that there are a lot more shades of gray in this world than I ever knew about. I’ve learned that sometimes, when you´re afraid but you keep on moving forward, that’s the biggest kind of courage there is. And finally, I’ve learned that life isn’t really about failure and success. It’s about being present, in the moment when big things happen, when everything changes, including myself.”

“La sintonía es algo que tiene que ver con la música. O peor aún, con los circuítos. El amor, en cambio, es cuando no respiras, cuando es absurdo, cuando echas de menos, cuando es bonito aunque esté desafinado, cuando es locura...”
“Antes o después las cosas que has dejado atrás te alcanzan. Y las cosas más estúpidas, cuando estás enamorado, las recuerdas como las más bonitas. Porque su simplicidad no tiene comparación. Y me dan ganas de gritar. En este silencio que hace daño.”

“A veces el miedo es una cosa fea. No te deja vivir los momentos más bellos. Es una especie de maldición si no sabes vencerla.”

The Book Thief - Markus Zusak
“Can a person steal happiness? Or is just another internal, infernal human trick?”
“I have hated words and I have loved them, and I hope I have made them right.”
“People observe the colors of a day only at its beginnings and ends, but to me it's quite clear that a day merges through a multitude of shades and intonations with each passing moment. A single hour can consist of thousands of different colors. Waxy yellows, cloud-spot blues. Murky darkness. In my line of work, I make it a point to notice them.”

My Sister's Keeper - Jodi Picoult
““You don't love someone because they're perfect, you love them in spite of the fact that they're not.”
“Maybe who we are isn't so much about what we do, but rather what we're capable of when we least expect it.”
“Sometimes to get what you want the most, you have to do what you want the least.”
“It's about a girl who is on the cusp of becoming someone.. A girl who may not know what she wants right now, and she may not know who she is right now, but who deserves the chance to find out.”

The Angel's Game - Carlos Ruiz Zafon
“Every book has a soul, the soul of the person who wrote it and the soul of those who read it and dream about it.”
“Do you know the best thing about broken hearts? They can only really break once the rest is just scratches.”
“Silence makes idiots seem wise even for a minute.”
“Don't be afraid of being scared. To be afraid is a sign of common sense. Only complete idiots are not afraid of anything.”
“It's curious how easy it is to tell a piece of paper what you don't dare say to someone's face.”

The Woman in Black - Susan Hill
"But gradually I've discovered the truth that person can not remain forever in a state of active fright. Or will this feeling strengthened until, exciting events and all the terrible fear, not so overwhelmed to escape or go mad, or he will gradually become less agitated and more calm ."
“A man may be accused of cowardice for fleeing away from all manner of physical dangers but when things supernatural, insubstantial and inexplicable threaten not only his safety and well-being but his sanity, his innermost soul, then retreat is not a sign of weakness but the most prudent course.”
