“If you are going to live in a house made of candy, don't move next door to a couple of obese kids. A lot of these fairy-tale characters are missing common sense.”

“A few of the girls and I jumped into my jetta and took off. "Lets go stand outside someone from Glee's house now," one of them said”

“I almost shat my pants. Literally, the floor was almost covered in my shat.”

“I don't necessarily consider myself a virgin, probably because I have such a penetrating personality”

“I wish I could walk into a room and feel superior and have my nose up at everybody, but I can't, because I know I'm just a huge nerd, and that wouldn't work for me.”

“What grinds me the most is that we’re sending kids out into the world who don’t know how to balance a checkbook, don’t know how to apply for a loan, don’t even know how to properly fill out a job application, but because they know the quadratic formula we consider them prepared for the world?”

“You've got to show the world who you are before it tells you. Otherwise you become victim to someone you're not.”

“Villains are mostly just people villainized by circumstance”

“Even in the worst of situations-even when it seems no one in the world appreciates you-as long as you have hope, everthing can get better”

“Once upon a time' These are the most magical words our world has ever known and the gateway to the greatest stories ever told. They're an immediate calling to anyone who hears them-a calling into a world where everyone is welcome and anything can happen. Mice can become men, maids can become princesses, and they can teach valuable lessons in the process.”

“A flame may love a snowflake, but they can never be together without each harming the other.”

“Don't be afraid to be human - you're human, you're going to have emotional days. You're going to have days when things suck and then some days when things are great, but don't feel guilty because you're experiencing that. Don't feel guilty from being human.”

“It doesn't matter how greatly you've been hurt or how much you're hurting, it's what you do with the pain that counts. You could cry for years or you could choose to learn and grow from it.”

“Courage is one thing that no one can ever take away from you.”

“The world will always choose convenience over reality. It's easier to hate, blame, and fear than it is to understand. No one wants the truth; they want entertainment.”

“I don’t think I have the right parts to appreciate '50 Shades of Grey'.”

“There's no solution to life, there's going to be problems no matter what.”

“No matter what you do, you can never please everyone. And that was the hardest lesson to learn. In fact, I'm still learning it.”

“Woo! It's so cold, I think we may be twin sisters now," he said through rattling teeth.”

“My grandpa had a saying before he died: You can hope in one hand, shit in the other, and see which is filled first.”

“I'm allergic to stupidity.”

“What grinds me the most is we're sending kids out into the world who don't know how to balance a checkbook, don't know how to apply for a loan, don't even know how to properly fill out a job application, but because they know the quadratic formula we consider them prepared for the world`With that said, I'll admit even I can see how looking at the equation x -3 = 19 and knowing x =22 can be useful. I'll even say knowing x =7 and y= 8 in a problem like 9x - 6y= 15 can be helpful. But seriously, do we all need to know how to simplify (x-3)(x-3i)??And the joke is, no one can continue their education unless they do. A student living in California cannot get into a four-year college unless they pass Algebra 2 in high school. A future psychologist can't become a psychologist, a future lawyer can't become a lawyer, and I can't become a journalist unless each of us has a basic understanding of engineering.Of course, engineers and scientists use this shit all the time, and I applaud them! But they don't take years of theater arts appreciation courses, because a scientist or an engineer doesn't need to know that 'The Phantom of the Opoera' was the longest-running Broadway musical of all time.Get my point?”

“I've learned that the more people embrace their disadvantages, the less disadvantaged they become!”

“If you ask me, it doesn't matter what life you're living, life never has a solution. No matter how hard the struggles are that you leave behind, new struggles always take their place.”

“Once the world has made a decision, there is little anyone can do to change its mind.”

“Creatures of the Darkness BY VICKI JORDANIt was world of vampires and demons, where innocence was rare and so were the living. It was a world of darkness,where light had been outlawed and nightfall had swallowedus whole. An epic war had been fought, and the creatures of the darkhad finally prevailed over the promoters of the light. Finally,for the first time in existence, the people of the shadows couldcome out and freely walk among one another in the rays of the dying sun, which had once been used to shun them away. A little girl, a child of the light, had survived the battle and crawled out from under the ashes of the destruction. She looked around at her altered world in dismay and confronted a vampireabout the changes, of which she did not approve. “Why did you turn my world into a world of night, and make wrong into a new form of right? How could you make all the light disappear, and with it everyone I once loved so dear? Why are the shadows now the new sun, and why is everything lost what you havewon?” The vampire looked down at the little girl with amusement and delight. “Because, little girl, this is the real world you see, where there’s nolight to shine on false identities. We didn’t destroy the world just to scare; we simply uncovered what was already there. What has come out was all the darkness that was once hidden within, and you’ll soon meet the darkness in you once my fangs pierce your skin.”We are our own greatest fears…..”

“Roses are red,Violets are blue,No amount of money,Can stop me from loving you,Try as they may,Try as they might,I’m not letting go,Without a fight,Some say it’s wicked,Some say it’s sinful, Some it’s wrong,And just wrong,I don’t know much,But when push comes to shove,I definitely don’t believe,There’s such thing wrong as love.”

“You don’t get to pick where you’re from, but you always have control of where you’re going.”

“When one thing takes another away, what do we call that?” she asked my class. “Homicide!” I called out”

“Right now, we're living in an ugly chapter of our lives, but books always get better!”

“High School. Society’s bright idea to put all their aggressive, naive youth into one environment to torment and emotionally scar each other for life.”

“I was reading that lightning is a negative charge that comes from the friction that clouds carry. And since opposites attract, I would like to think that he was so positive the moment that he died, so happy, he pulled that bolt right out of the sky. I don’t know if that’s possible, but that’s what I believe.”

“Every driven person comes from a mountain of pain they wish to keep hidden.”

“I always laugh at the term 'Cinderella story', because, if you ask me, it doesn't matter what life you're living, life never has a solution. No matter how hard the struggles are that you leave behind, new struggles always take their place.”

“...because a life without meaning, without drive or focus, without dreams or goals, isn't a life worth living.”

“I don't know much,But when push comes to shove, I definitely don't believe,There's such a thing as wrong love.”

“Like having a great idea, life comes at you fast. It hits you and tries to escape and be expressed in any way possible. In a way, it's a lot like...lightning.”

“To Grandma:Once upon a time, there was a boy who flew.”

“From this day on, I refuse to let anyone bring me to a point where I can't take a horrible situation and spin it into something beneficial. I will never let anyone make me feel anything I don't want to feel again or rob me of the passions that make me who I am.”

“You're sad-looking," she said. "My grandson used to be such a happy boy. He used to write me stories. I remember the first story he ever wrote me, 'Once upon a time, there was a boy.' And that became 'Once upon a time there was a boy who wanted to fly.' And they kept getting better and better over time. I never found out if the boy got to fly."I gave her a small smile. If only she knew the boy's wings had been clipped.”

“I may have no idea what I'm talking about," I said, a little ticked off now. "But we're all a part of a minority waiting for a majority to pull their heads out of their asses.”

“I know I'm bitter and a little jaded, and mildly enjoy it, but am I a sad person? Am I happy? I plan on being happy in the future for sure, but it isn't here yet. So what does that make me, exactly?”

“Whoa, I've really got to stop making plans with fictional characters. It can't be healthy to develop relationships with people who don't exist.”

“To Grandma,for being my first editor and giving me the best writing advice I’ve ever received: “Christopher, I think you should wait until you’re done with elementary school before worrying about being a failed writer.”

“If you truly own who you are, no one can use you against you.”

“I’ve tried being other people and myself suits me the best.”

“There's nothing wrong with you. There's a lot wrong with the world you live in. And definitely get out of high school and make everyone sorry.”

“Don’t listen to what people tell you because they’ll try to bring you down. And don’t listen to yourself, either, because yourself will try to bring you down even more so than anyone else. As long as you just put all your energy into one thing, it can happen.”

“To be famous is to stand on a pedestal and give the world permission to tell you all your flaws.”

“But one of the big lessons I have learned from my journey is you can’t please everyone, so don’t try.”
