-Every pupil in a classroom
will answer the same if you ask them
every mouth shout the message out as one
every girl weeps like a willow
every boy cries into his pillow
every tear disappears in the morning sun.
-Tender is my heart
that's screwing up my life
oh lord I need to find
someone who can heal my mind.
-Hey man
slow down
idiot slow down.
-So alive we're busy still saying please.
-Come on, people,
keep yr friends close,
yr enemies won't matter in the end.
-But I can't help the feeling,
I could float through the ceiling,
if I just turn,
and run.
-My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb,
And all I remember is thinking,
I wanna be like them.
-And true love waits,
in haunted attics,
and true love lives,
with lollipops and crisps.
-Sans tei,
les emotions d'aujord
hui me seraient que la peaumonte des emotions
d'autrefois.
Some people, just a handful, mind you, give off the tiniest colour - like a haze - it's all I ever see in the darkness.
There were big adventures and small adventures, Mr Bunnsy knew. You didn't get told what size they were going to be before they started. Sometimes you could have a big adventure even when you were standing still. - The Amazing Maurice and his Educated Rodents by Terry Pratchett.
"It would be nice not to have all that stuff anymore", says Emily. "If I could escape from the world, then I think I would probably be alright . Then I would'nt need to escape from myself becasue it's the way I react to the world that's a problem" - Bright Young Things by Scarlett Thomas.
I'd prefer to become someone who can make the world a little better. That would be the best thing. But I don't know if it is possible. I don't know what it takes to make the world better. I feel uncertain that is enough just to smile at everybody I meet. - Naive. Super by Erlend Loe.
I never knew about all this. I never knew I lived in heaven, even if it is only heaven to a clan of little blue men. - The Wee Free Men by Terry pratchett.
In the end, the tortures tearing the Lisbon girls pointed to a simple refusal to accept the world as it was handed down to them, so full of flaws. - The Virgin Suicides by Jeffery Eugenides.
"Because it happened before. There's always someone who'll listen", Granny Weatherwax's eyes seemed to lost their focus. "When you're lonely, and people around you seem too stupied for words, and the world is full of secrets no-one will tell you". - Lords And Ladies by terry Practhett.
I am leaning back and running with it and staring at the stars and I'm eleven, I'm sixteen, I'm eighteen, I'm a newborn, I'm everyone everywhere with you without you unbound set free in limbo lost at sea. - Lost At Sea by Bryan Lee O'Malley.
Some days I wonder how I'll get through a whole life of thinking. A life that is just words, words, words, shuffling around in my head. Was I born that way? - The Moth Diaries by Rachel Klein.
"Tonight I must be in Asgard", he said. "I must confront my father Odin in the great hall of Valhalla and bring him to justice for what he has done".

"No!", said Thor. For making the Welsh pebbles not worth counting" - The Long Dark teatime Of The Soul by Douglas Adams.
I'm going to follow her. Even if it means oblivion, I'll welcome it because it won't be nothing, we'll be alive again in a thousand blades of grass, and a million leaves, we'll be falling in the raindrops and blowing in the fresh breeze, we'll be glittering in the dew under the stars and the moon. - The Amber Spyglass by Phillip Pullma
Sometimes I want to say the things I must before my heart turns to dust.
Meo suo i eyrum vio spium endalaust.
It hurts too much not to try.
I will see you in another life when we are both cats.
Quod perditum est, in venietur.
Elen sila lumeen omentielvo.
