There is just something about reading a good book, but the best thing about reading is coming across a quote and feeling that it was written just for you. Being able to relate to a quote as if it was talking to you directly, thats where the magic from reading comes from. Here are my favorite quotes:

1. "Her books were some of her very best friends." -Unknown.

2. "My will and my desire were turned by love, the love that moves the sun and the other stars." - Dante Alighieri.


3. "And she wept for herself and the changes that had been wrought in her, because sometimes even change for the better felt like a little death." - Cassandra Clare.

4. "You can love someone so much...but you can never love people as much as you can miss them." - John Green.

5. "She reads books as one would breathe air, to fill up and live." -Annie Dillard.


6. "I wish, as well as everybody else, to be perfectly happy; but, like everybody else, it must be in my own way." - Jane Austen.


7. "Dreams are true while they last, and do we not live in dreams?" - Alfred Lord Tennyson.

8. "I can shake off everything as I write; my sorrows disappear, my courage is reborn." -Anne Frank.

9."You will only be as great as the people you surround yourself with, so be brave enough to let go of those who keep bringing you down. You shouldn't force connections with people who constantly make you feel less than amazing." - Unknown.

10. Lord, we know what we are, but know not what we may be." - Hamlet.

11. "I lived in books more than I lived anywhere else." -Neil Gaiman.


I hope that you enjoy these as much as I do!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
