You cannot be afraid, Read the book. Smile at it. It's a great book-the greatest book you've ever read.

...to swear with a ferocity that can only be described as a talent.
Markus Zusak

Because you don't learn anything unless you can find the patience to read. TV takes that away from you. It robs you from your mind.

You can do anything when it's not real. When it is real, nothing breaks your fall. Nothing gets between you and the ground.

She was one if the few souls that made me wonder what's it to live.

Shadows of cloud lurked in the water, like holes the sun forgot about.
