"I, on the other hand, am writing for myself alone, and declare once and for all that, even if I write as though I were addressing the readers, I do it merely for form's sake, because it is easier for me to write like that. It's nothing but a device, an empty device. As for readers, I will never have any. I have already said so... And also this: why, actually, do I want to write at all? If not for an audience, then couldn't I simply go over everything just in my mind, instead of putting it on paper?

Right enough. Yet it will somehow be more solemn when put down on paper. There's something more impressive about it, there will be better judgment of myself, it will be in better style. Besides, I may in fact get some relief from writing it all down."-Notes from Underground, Fyodor Dostoevsky.

"It is impossible to discourage the real writers- they don't give a damn what you say, they're going to write." Sinclair Lewis

"Humans have a knack for choosing precisely the things that are worse for them."-J.K Rowling

"Well, I can certainly see why we're trying keeping them alive. Who wouldn't want pets that can burn, sting, and bite all at once?"- J.K Rowling

"The way I see it, you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain."

"I don't think I belong with these pretty perfect houses on their curving streets named after famous dead people because I am not pretty and perfect. Everyone tells me I can be anything I want to be, but I know I know that's not true. I can never not be me." Perfect World, by Brian James

"You can't win. You know that, don't you? It doesn't matter if you whip us, you'll still be where you were before, at the bottom. And we'll still be the lucky ones at the top with all the breaks. It doesn't matters. Greasers will still be Greasers and Socs will still be Socs. It doesn't matter." The Outsiders (movie)

"Stay gold." The Outsiders, S.E Hinton

"People say that everything happens for a reason, but I think that sometimes that's not true. I think that some things just...happen."
