-How the One Armed Sister Sweeps Her House by Cherie Jones… because in this new baby she had seen her own face, had sensed a brighter, better version of herself and the hope of the realisation of all things she hadn’t known she’d wanted to be.
I absolutely love this quote and when I read this book originally I had just become a mother myself. I connected with it on such a deep level, knowing and feeling this exact thing before it was put into words in this book. Overall a very, very good read and I highly recommend it for anyone. 5/5

You can live a life of hesitation, or you can live a life of inspiration. A life of inspiration requires believing in yourself today more than yesterday. Supporting this belief requires taking on more—the more you dare to do, the more you can do. Rob White, And I Met Margaret, Page 98

Winnie the Pooh just has so many good quotes! It's hard to pick just one.
My other favorite is from Wicked (one of my favorite musicals).― Glinda Wicked the Musical“Are people born wicked? Or do they have wickedness thrust upon them?”

This quote reminds me to be mindful of the words I use, leading me to often reflect on my words. I notice that I can apologize to people quickly when I say something harsh unintentionally.

Khaled Hosseini, THE KITE RUNNER.
These are my favourite lines, although there have been many years since I last read this book but these lines are so close to my heart and I believe majority of people can relate to them. Its not about being pessimistic or looking for negatives in everything but I think its the reality of life. Goos things and bad things are happening in a parallel and thats why life is so unpredictable sometimes, you don't know what's gonaa happen next. One moment you're happy and the other its all gone, and vice versa.

Dostoyevsky says that pain is inevitable for a broad mind and a deep heart. The thing is: PAIN IS INEVITABLE, no matter what. The more you're intellectual, the more you are prone to sadness. Every individual claims to be in great pain, be it an adult, middle aged or an old person. So, here's the trick: don't push, don't try to understand, don't indulge yourself in things you can't grasp."You can't stop it. Where there is a great pain, there are only three rules: not to push the pain away, not to try to understand it, and not to indulge in it."
Kerra's lines from,
'Rumi's Daughter' by Mauriel Mafroy.
As for the poets, Orhan Pamuk says that poetry and happiness can coexist for a brief time, which means that on one hand, pain and sadness have opposing forces towards man, but on the other, that have significant affect also. So, one must learn to wait when the flower blooms!
Moreover, addressig your sadness differs from clinging to it, which blocks your way forward.
Don't push, don't cling; because there's nothing in your hands while you're in pain.
So, just pray & wait

These are the last sentences of The Song of Achilles, by Madeline Miller.In the darkness, two shadows, reaching through the hopeless, heavy dusk. Their hands meet, and light spills in a flood like a hundred golden urns pouring out of the sun.
I find this paragraph very poetic, just as beautiful the whole book is.

Margaret Weis; Dragons of a Fallen Sun"Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems to me that I'd much rather be disliked for being me than to be disliked just because I'm a kender. I can do something about me, you see, but I can't do much about being a kender because my mother was a kender and so was my father and that seems to have a lot to do with me being a kender."
One of my favorite characters in the Dragonlance books. He always cracks me up.
