Marethyu stretched out his right hand and Aten took it in his. Let me tell you this, the hook-handed man said. We will meet again,you and I,in a different place and a different time. You know this to be true? I do. Because you have seen the future? Because I have been there.

Nowadays I find chocolate and/or chocolate-based snacks to be great motivators. Everyone loves chocolate. If someone has a lot of work to do, put a piece of fudge in a glass container (so they can see it) and let them know that if they accomplish their tasks, they can eat the fudge. You'll definitely get a reaction!

I was brought up in a home where I saw my parents read and I was taken to bookshops and libraries, so I grew up feeling very comfortable around books. Also, Ireland is a country which has honoured its writers and poets, so when someone says they wanted to be a writer, its not mocked or looked down upon.

Adults, Sophie has decided a long time before, were really bad at making up good excuses.
Michael Scott
He is many things - dangerous and devious, cunning and deadly, a good friend and an implacable enemy - but he comes from an age when a man's word was indeed precious.

Water is the life-giver and the death-bringer.

Guess what? I have flaws. What are they? Oh I donno, I sing in the shower? Sometimes I spend too much time volunteering. Occasionally I'll hit somebody with my car. So sue me-- no, don't sue me. That is opposite the point I'm trying to make.

The best moment is when you walk into a bookstore and see a pile of your books - that is the oddest experience in the world!

The strong survive, but the courageous triumph.

What is it like being single? I like it! I like starting each day with a sense of possibility. And I'm optimistic, because everyday I get a little more desperate. And desperate situations yield the quickest results.
