&quot;Done &amp; Over&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;Anyone can give up, it&#039;s the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that&#039;s true strength.&quot;<br /> <br /> &quot;People should be able to say how they feel. How they really feel. Not, you know, some words that some strangers put in their mouth.&quot;

I&#039;ve never told a lie and that makes me a liar, I&#039;ve never made a bet but we gamble with desire, I&#039;ve never lit a match with intent to start a fire but recently the flames are getting out of control<br /> - All Time Low: Jasey Rae

&ldquo;You must write every single day of your life. You must read dreadful dumb books and glorious books, and let them wrestle in beautiful fights inside your head, vulgar one moment, brilliant the next. You must lurk in libraries and climb the stacks like ladders to sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads. I wish you a wrestling match with your creative muse that will last a lifetime. I wish craziness and foolishness and madness upon you. May you live with hysteria, and out of it make fine stories &ndash; science fiction or otherwise. Which finally means, may you be in love every day for the next 20,000 days. And out of that love, remake a world.&rdquo;<br /> -Ray Bradbury

&lsquo;Maybe Richard will find another way. Just tell him, Alice. Tell him that his own Confessor never stopped loving him. And that if he can&rsquo;t undo the magic, if he can&rsquo;t return to her then, she&rsquo;ll be waiting for him, in the Underworld. Forever.&rsquo;<br /> -Mother Confessor Kahlan Amnell,<br /> Legend of the Seeker
