"Oh, Well Imagine as I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor and I can't help but hear an exchanging of words... Haven't you people ever heard of closing the Goddamn door ??"

"You won't come like the woman in suffering... carry on like a broken men pushing redemption... You don't know what your power has done to me... I'm stricken and can't let you go."

"This world will never be what I expected and if I don't belong, who would have guessed it? ... Even if I say it'll be alright, still I hear you say you want to end your life... Maybe we'll turn it all around, because it's not too late... It's never too late."

"I have the tendency of getting very physical, and if I do, watch your step because you're gonna need a miracle... When it gets cold outside and you got no one to love... Like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams ... It'd getting harder and harder to breathe."

"Some people think they always know what's best for you... The cage is locked... at first you cried and then you hit those people's stones you wear... It might be difficult, you might be full of doubt... don't try to escape, you don't got no where to go... Do you call my mane?"

"Thought that I was all alone, broken and afraid, but you were there with me... Well, then I didn't even know that I had lost my way, but you were there with me... Yes, you were there with me... I didn't know that I could ever make it without you... And even though the journey's long... You will help me carry on... Now I realize the truth... You are here with me... Yes, you are here with me."

"This is why we fight... This is why we lie awake... When we die, we will die, with our arms unbound... This is why we fight."

"I'm going to make it bend and break.. Say a prayer but let the good times roll... Just in case God doesn't show... Who does he think he is? ... One night and one more time... Thanks for the memories... Even though they weren't that great... Thanks... Thanks for the memories."

I like books too:

Specifically -- The Harry Potter series, the Host, the Mediator series, the Twilight saga, the Cardturner, the Haddix series, Two-Minute Mysteries, Inkheart... and so on and so on.

"Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light." ~ spoken by the character Albus Dumbledore (Harry Potter)

"I, the soul named Wanderer, love you, human Ian and that will never change no matter what I might become. If I were a Dolphin or a Bear or a Flower, it wouldn't matter. I would always love you, always remember you. You will be my only partner." ~ spoken by the character Wanderer/Wanda (The Host)

"I held you in my hands, wanderer, and you were so beautiful." ~ spoken by the character Ian (The Host)

"Don't worry Toto; you're just not in Kansas anymore." ~ spoken by the character Meggie (Inkheart)

"I committed what I'm sure must be some kind of mortal sin. I lied to a priest. Good thing I'm not Catholic." ~ spoken by the character Suze/Suzanne (The Mediator)

"If Michael is guilty of what those young people say he is, then I will convince him to confess." Father Dominic looked like he meant it, too. In fact, I hadn't even done anything, but somehow, looking at his stern expression, I wanted to confess. Once I had taken a five dollar bill from my mother's wallet to buy a jumbo bag of Skittles. Maybe I could confess that." ~ spoken by the character Suze/Suzanne (The Mediator)

"My mother's psychologist says I have a over active anger switch, but people just keep pissing me off." ~ spoken by the character Suze/Suzanne (The Mediator)

Favorite fanfic quotes:

"Yes…" Messalina whispered, then they faced each other. "Aro would have a fit if he saw us like this, we're laying next to each other in the same bed!" Messalina laughed.

"Oh yes," Carlisle sighed "I should leave, it may seem wrong" he blurted out in a rush, he was all flustered and shy, he quickly jumped out of her bed.

"You watched me all this time?" Messalina asked.

"Yes, of course!" Carlisle defended himself "I will always watch over you, even when you're far away." Carlisle smiled.

- The Dawning Darkness, gina - and - the - fireworks, A must read, encouragement heals the soul from disappointment and regret.

The smile that lit her face blinded him with its glory.

"Severus!"

Oh, but to hear his name from her lips in reality would be Heaven!

- Severus Snape (It All Started with a Potion - Captain Traemel)

We're not living in a fairy tale nor are we dreaming wide awake. Life isn't meant to be fair. We all experience guilt, regret and loss. But it's these emotions that make us human, that lets us know that life itself isn't life without experiencing these feelings. - Severus Snape (Caught on Time -- dapperyklutz)

Professor Snape doled out personal revelations and private moments like Voldemort had handed out butterscotch candy to Muggle school children. -- Hermione Granger (Schadenfreude -- dressagegrrrl)

"This is ... unexpected."

"Your mastery of understatement will never cease to impress me."

-- Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape (Cathecism -- Dreamfall)
