Winter isn’t just around the corner anymore, it’s actually here. And while that is sad news for some, others are embracing the cold weather and all that comes with it -- peppermint mocha lattes, ginormous sweaters, twirling around in the snow and snuggling up on the couch with a good book.

Whether you’re excited about the wondrous winter wonderland that is January or you’re totally bummed, here are 12 book quotes that will definitely give you an extra burst of warmth this winter.

2. "What day is it?’, asked Winnie the Pooh. ‘It’s today,’ squeaked Piglet. ‘My favorite day,’ said Pooh.” – A.A. Milne, "The adventures of Winnie the Pooh"

3. “You were a summer gift, one I'll always treasure. You were a dream I never wanted to wake up from. You opened my eyes to things I'll never really see. You're the best thing that will ever happen to me.” – Ellen Hopkins, "Crank"

4. "People always think that happiness is a faraway thing," thought Francie, "something complicated and hard to get. Yet, what little things can make it up; a place of shelter when it rains — a cup of strong hot coffee when you're blue… a book to read when you're alone — just to be with someone you love. Those things make happiness." – Betty Smith, "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn"

5. "'Go on, have a pasty,' said Harry, who had never had anything to share before or, indeed, anyone to share it with. It was a nice feeling, sitting there with Ron, eating their way through all Harry's pasties, cakes, and candies (the sandwiches lay forgotten)." – J.K. Rowling, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone"

6. “And so with the sunshine and the great bursts of leaves growing on the trees, just as things grow in fast movies, I had that familiar conviction that life was beginning over again with the summer.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald, "The Great Gatsby"

7. “In spite of everything, I still believe people are really good at heart.” – Anne Frank, "The Diary of Anne Frank"

via GIPHY


8. “The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars.” – Jack Kerouac, "On the Road"

via GIPHY


9. “Taking no chances means wasting your dreams...” – Ellen Hopkins, "Crank"

via GIPHY


10. “Deep in the meadow, hidden far away. A cloak of leaves, a moonbeam ray. Forget your woes and let your troubles lay. And when it's morning again, they'll wash away. Here it's safe, here it's warm. Here the daisies guard you from every harm. Here your dreams are sweet and tomorrow brings them true. Here is the place where I love you.” – Suzanne Collins, "The Hunger Games"

via GIPHY


11. “I wished she’d never stop squeezing me. I wished I could spend the rest of my life as a child, being slightly crushed by someone who loved me.” – Gail Carson Levine, "Ella Enchanted"

via GIPHY


12. "When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too." – Paulo Coelho, "The Alchemist"

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.

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.
