Mindy Kaling
If you believe in yourself and work hard, your dreams will come true.Well...I guess the people who work hard whose dreams come true don't get to write books about it, so we never really find out what happens to them. So...If you believe in yourself and work hard, you have a fighting shot at having your dreams come true.
Mindy Kaling
Soulmates is what you aim for, but soup snakes is what you get sometimes.
Mindy Kaling
If you're Natalie Dormer, you can take big fashion risks and shave half your head, and it looks good. If you're a normal person and you try that, you just look like you had recent brain surgery.
Mindy Kaling
Haley and I would talk for hours about which member of 'N Sync we'd want to marry. After long deliberation, the answer was always J. C. Chasez. JoeyFatone's last name was going to be "Fat One" no matter how great he was, and even though they didn't know at theirage that Lance Bass was gay outright, they sensed he'd make a better good friend and confidante. As for Justin Timberlake, well, JT was the coolest and hottest, but too flashy, so we couldn't trust him to be faithful. J. C. Chasez was the smart compromise.
Stephen King

Stephen King
People think first love is sweet, and never sweeter than when that first bond snaps. You've heard a thousand pop and country songs that prove the point; some fool got his heart broke. Yet that first broken heart is always the most painful, the slowest to mend, and leaves the most visible scar. What's so sweet about that?
Vladimir Nabokov
All of which does not alter the fact that Pnin was on the wrong train.
Vladimir Nabokov
And a beautiful garden, not far from a beautiful lake, and I said it sounded perfectly perfect.
Vladimir Nabokov
A certain man once lost a diamond cuff-link in the wide blue sea, and twenty years later, on the exact day, a Friday apparently, he was eating a large fish - but there was no diamond inside. That's what I like about coincidence.
Patricia C. Wrede
Butt he isn't my lover, or my fiancé, or my boyfriend or anything, and I refuse to be killed with him.
Patricia C. Wrede
Four of us,' said Morwen. The cats yowled. 'Yes, I know, and of course you're coming, but you can't carry a bucket of soapy water, so for the purposes of this discussion it doesn't matter,' she told them. The cats gave her an affronted look, turned their backs, and began making indignant little noises at each other.
Patricia C. Wrede
Buckets,' said Cimorene. 'Lots of buckets, and soap, and lemon juice. Where do you keep your buckets, Mendanbar?' 'Around somewhere,' Mendanbar said vaguely.
Patricia C. Wrede
May you and your triple cursed wash water turn purple with orange spots and fall down a bottomless pit!
Patricia C. Wrede
Out here, it's better safe than sorry, because generally speaking, too much of the time sorry means you're dead.
Patricia C. Wrede
The young man is currently standing in the hallway, dripping on the handmade silk rug that the Emperor of the Indies presented to His Majesty's grandmother. He is insisting on speaking with His Majesty.It's a very ugly rug, Mendanbar said. That's why we put it in the entry hall.
Stephenie Meyer
Odd as this might sound, I suppose I'm glad you're here, Jacob.''You mean, 'as much as I'd love to kill you, I'm glad she's warm,' right?
Stephenie Meyer
Say what you want, I still think Dracula One and Dracula Two are creep-tacular.
Stephenie Meyer

Stephenie Meyer
How could you fall in love with a three inch worm?
Albert Camus
I feel like getting married, or committing suicide, or subscribing to L'Illustration. Something desperate, you know.
Peter S. Beagle
The baloney weighed the raven down, and the shopkeeper almost caught him as he whisked out the delicatessen door.
Peter S. Beagle
The tune was wailing and mournful, almost flagrantly so, and the total effect was of a heartbroken piccolo being parted forever from its bagpipe lover.
Peter S. Beagle
The magician stood erect, menacing the attackers with demons, metamorphoses, paralyzing ailments, and secret judo holds. Molly picked up a rock.
Peter S. Beagle
I am no king, and I am no lord,And I am no soldier at-arms, said he.I'm none but a harper, and a very poor harper,That am come hither to wed with ye.If you were a lord, you should be my lord,And the same if you were a thief, said she.And if you are a harper, you shall be my harper,For it makes no matter to me, to me,For it makes no matter to me.But what if it prove that I am no harper?That I lied for your love most monstrously?Why, then I'll teach you to play and sing,For I dearly love a good harp, said she.
Kelley Armstrong
{Sam} Rafe grinned.
Kelley Armstrong
Right." A soft, choked laugh. "Kind of ruins the dramatic effect if I'm storming off in the wrong direction, doesn't it?
Kelley Armstrong
I walked over to the paper and bent as the pencil began scribbling across it. A stupid question. Liz was the only poltergeist I knew. But if she was here, that meant. My heart started thudding again. I took a deep breath. I watched the paper. Nothing happened. No, she didn't. We hadn't taken them into the forest. If Chloe had managed to follow me straight from there … I swore.
Kelley Armstrong
Lucas - You'll have to excuse Paige's overenthusiastic attempt to befriend the local wildlife. Not many of their type where she comes from.Paige -Hey, we have gangs in Boston.Lucas - Ah, yes. I believe they're particularly bad down by the wharf, where they're liable to descend upon the unwary, surround him with their yachts, and shout well-chosen and elegantly elocuted epithets.
Kelley Armstrong
I asked. SImon said. Derek said. Simon glanced at me. Derek rolled his eyes.
Kelley Armstrong

Taffy. He thinks about taffy. He thinks it would take his teeth out now, but he would eat it anyhow, if it meant eating it with her.
by Mitch Albom
All our human endeavours are like that, she reflected, and it is only because we are too ignorant to realize it, or are too forgetful to remember it, that we have the confidence to build something that is meant to last.
by Alexander McCall Smith
In fact, none of us knows how he ever managed to get his LLB in the first place. Maybe they're putting law degrees in cornflakes boxes these days.
by Alexander McCall Smith
The value of money is subjective, depending on age. At the age of one, one multiplies the actual sum by 145,000, making one pound seem like 145,000 pounds to a one-year-old. At seven – Bertie's age – the multiplier is 24, so that five pounds seems like 120 pounds. At the age of twenty four, five pounds is five pounds; at forty five it is divided by 5, so that it seems like one pound and one pound seems like twenty pence. {All figures courtesy of Scottish Government Advice Leaflet: Handling your Money.}
by Alexander McCall Smith
Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search. And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins.
by Mitch Albom
Small towns are like metronomes; with the slightest flick, the beat changes.
by Mitch Albom
You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.
by Mitch Albom
we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age. A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent, to test our promise, to realize our mortality-and, in some lucky cases, to do something after that realization.
by Mitch Albom
Where there's bluster, thinks Luisa, there's duplicity
by David Mitchell
But an ink brush, she thinks, is a skeleton key for a prisoner's mind.
