&quot;If you look inside a girl, you&#039;ll see how much she really cries.<br /> You&#039;ll find best friends, hidden secrets, and lies<br /> You&#039;ll find out how hard it is to stay strong<br /> When nothing is right, and everything is wrong&quot;

&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
