“When you read you can have every adventure. In the pages of a book you can be anyone you ever dreamed of being... They can never tell you you're too young to slay the dragon -- because it all happens right here, where it's safe.”

“Fairy tales can come true, it can happen to youIf you're young at heart.For it's hard, you will find, to be narrow of mindIf you're young at heart.You can go to extremes with impossible schemes.You can laugh when your dreams fall apart at the seams.And life gets more exciting with each passing day.And love is either in your heart, or on it's way.Don't you know that it's worth every treasure on earthTo be young at heart.For as rich as you are, it's much better by farTo be young at heart.And if you should survive to 105,Look at all you'll derive out of being alive!And here is the best part, you have a head startIf you are among the very young at heart.”

“A writer is very much like the captain on a star ship facing the unknown. When you face the blank page and you have no idea where you're going. It can be terrifying, but it can also be the adventure of a lifetime.”

“If you loveach other, whatever happens you can deal with it, you can work it out. Because if there's one thing I've learned, it's that it's really not much fun having an adventure with someone you're not in love with.”

“"Faye, darlin', I want you to hear this and get it, what you just gave me was the most beautiful thing I've ever been given in...my...life. What you'll give me later I know from what I've already had, not just now but since I've known you, will be even more beautiful. With me, anytime, anywhere, you're safe. But of the anytime and anyplace you're with me, the place you're safest is right here, in my bed. You never have to be embarrassed. You can ask questions. You can react how you want. You can be who you are. If I'm doin' something you don't like, you can stop me. Nothin' will ever happen in this bed that you'll be uncomfortable with. I swear to you, baby. You're safe here and you always will be."”

“I'm here. You're safe now. It's okay toremember. They can never hurt you again.”
