EACH PERSON IS A STRAND OF STORY

I would die for you. But I won’t live for you.

—Stephen Chbosky

It’s just that I don’t want to be somebody’s crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don’t want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too.

—Stephen Chbosky

Love pats are soft punches of encouragement that are admistered on the knee, shoulder, and arm.

—Stephen Chbosky

Uma vontade de dormir abraçada, recebendo cafuné…

Someone feeling wronged is like someone feeling thirsty. Don’t tell them they aren’t. Sit with them and have a drink.

—Lemony Snicket

Bad circumstances have a way of ruining things that would otherwise be pleasant.

—Lemony Snicket

I will love you with no regard to the actions of our enemies or the jealousies of actors. I will love you with no regard to the outrage of certain parents or the boredom of certain friends. I will love you no matter what is served in the world’s cafeterias or what game is played at each and every recess. I will love you no matter how many fire drills we are all forced to endure, and no matter what is drawn upon the blackboard in blurry, boring chalk. I will love you no matter how many mistakes I make when trying to reduce fractions, and no matter how difficult it is to memorize the periodic table.

—Lemony Snicket

There are almost as many kinds of libraries as there are kinds of readers.

—Lemony Snicket

It is not very polite to interrupt a person, of course, but sometimes if the person is very unpleasant you can hardly stop yourself.

—Lemony Snicket
