A few of my favorite lines from Cecelia's mysterious novel :)
Sure to keep you haunted...
Love,
Dawn <3  - I never wanted anything new; from the age of ten, I was convinced that you couldn't replace what was lost. I insisted on things having to be found.
- I have found that the many imbalances within our individual lives result in an overall more worldly balance. What I mean is that no matter how unfair I thing something is, I need only look at the bigger picture to see how, in a way, it fits. My dad was right when he said that there was no such thing as a free meal: Everything comes at a cost to others, most of the time at a cost to ourselves. Whenever something is gained, it has been taken from another place. When something is lost, it arrives elsewhere. There are the usual philosophical questions: Why do bad things happen to good people? Within every bad thing I see good, and, likewise, with every good thing I see bad, however impossible it is to understand it or see it at the time. As humans we are the epitome of life; in life there is always a balance. Life and death, male and female, good and bad, beautiful and ugly, win and lose, love and hate. Lost and found.
Some of my fave quotes from The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks. I hope you like them too :)
Love,
Dawn <3  - A person can get used to anything if given enough time.
- He said simply, "My daddy used to tell me that the first time you fall in love, it changes your life forever, and no matter how hard you try, the feelin' never goes away. This girl you been telling me about was your first love. And no matter what you do, she'll stay with you forever."
- "You can't live your life for other people. You've got to do what's right for you, even if it hurts some people you love."
- Dusk, I realized then, is just an illusion, because the sun is either above the horizon or below it. And that means that day and night are linked in a way that few things are; there cannot be one without the other, yet they cannot exist at the same time. How would it feel, I remember wondering, to be always together, yet forever apart?
- Silence is holy. It draws people together because only those who are comfortable with each other can sit without speaking. This is the great paradox.
 Quotes from 'To The Nines'.
In need of a psychoanalyst :P
Dawn <3
 - 'God, Mom! Do you think I'd do that? I'm a feminist, you know. I don't need a man to make me happy.' It's just, you know, when that particular one is around, and I smell his neck, my oxytocin levels rise, and I feel calmer and more relaxed than I do when I'm alone. Or with anyone else.
- But there's a REASON I worry so much about her. Sometimes Lilly makes really bad choices. And then she gets hurt.
And true, sometimes she makes good choices – like dating J.P. – and gets hurt anyway.
But making out with some random Muay Thai fighter in her kitchen just one day after breaking up with her boyfriend of six months?
I don’t see how that can be a good choice.
- We're all going to sit down to dinner like a normal family. Just me, my mom, her husband, their kid, and my dad the Prince of Genovia. Oh, yeah. we're a normal family all right. No wonder I'm in therapy.
 - Parents. Seriously. First they get on my case because I won't get out of bed or do anything. Then I do what they want, and get out of bed and socialize, and they get mad about THAT too. You can't win.
- It's amazing how the more times change, the more they stay the same.
- And, OK, I spent most of the time I was dating Kenny trying to figure out how to break up with him. But still. She can't be mad at me for exactly doing what she's doing..can she ?
 Quotes from 'Seventh Heaven'.
Sooo totally in love with it :P
Dawn <3
 - Still, I think my story, 'No More Corn!', is pretty good. I mean, it has everything a short story SHOULD have in it: Romance. Pathos. Suicide. Corn. Who could ask for more ?
- Mia: Um, yeah, but unless we’re going to CHARGE them to publish their stuff, I don’t see how that’s going to raise US any cash.
Tina: Don’t you see, Mia? We can charge people for copies of the magazine once we’ve printed it. I bet we’ll sell LOTS of copies.
Lilly: Thank you, Tina. The lack of jadedness in your response is quite refreshing compared to SOME people’s negative attitudes.
- He's gotta be about a HUNDRED now. He's so old, he looks like a cross between Larry King and a raisin.
- Because to me, J.P. is the Guy Who Hates It When They Put Corn In The Chilli. He's not John Paul Reynolds-Abernathy the Fourth. The Guy Who Hates It When They Put Corn In The Chilli doesn't have a NAME. He's just... the Guy Who Hates It When They Put Corn In The Chilli. The guy I wrote a short story about. A short story that was rejected by Sixteen magazine. A short story I hope to expand into a novel someday. A short story at the end of which the Guy Who Hates It When They Put Corn In The Chilli throws himself under the F train. How can I talk to a guy I had thrown himself under a train - even if it WAS only fiction?
 - The truth is, I am not even the biggest Coldplay fan, because I don't really approve of the lead singer letting his wife, Gwyneth Paltrow, name their kid Apple.
- But that is just how boys are. They are like freaks of nature.
- 'In any case, you're much too young to be so serious about a boy. A princess needs to kiss a lot of frogs before she can say for certain she's found her prince.'
- 'But there's another way, Grandmere. You might want to check it out. It's called being nice to people.'
 Quotes from 'Sixsational'.
Totally-like-ly-yours :P
Dawn <3
 - Mysteries are okay in books, but in real life they kind of suck.
- If everybody would just concentrate on their personal strengths, the world would be a much better place.
 - 'But, Mia, you're pure and good of heart,' Boris pointed out to me. 'People who are pure and good of heart always beat out evil.' Um, yeah. In books like The Hobbit, for crying out loud.
- Indirect proof = assumption made at the beginning that leads to contradiction. Contradiction indicates the assumption is false and the desired conclusion is true.
Because Lana is pretty, she must be nice. Because all things that are pretty are nice.
FALSE FALSE FALSE FALSE.
Killer algae is pretty, but it is also deadly.
Postulate = a statement that is assumed to be true without proof.
I can pretty much postulate that I will lose today’s debate to Lana.
You know what? I think I might be getting the hang of this Geometry thing.
 A few of my favorite funny lines from the hilarious self-help book. Funnily-happy :P Dawn <3- A man would rather be trampled by elephants that are on fire than tell you that he's just not that into you. That's why we've written this book.
- If we want you, we will find you. If you don't think you gave him enough time to notice you, take the time it took you to notice him and divide it by half.
- On the Human Interaction Stock Exchange, our words have lost almost all their value.
- The word "busy" is the relationship Weapon of Mass Destruction.
- What kind of weird science experiment are you doing with your emotions? Don't get me wrong, Madame Curie-I know it's nice to have companionship and wake up with somebody that you really like, but that's what pets are for.
- People are complicated. They are a mixed bag of lovable and dysfunctional qualities. That's why they are so darn confusing.
Hey everyone. I named this post Folded Pages because I don't know about all readers, but at least I have a habit of folding the pages of a book, which have a line or a quote that I love. Hope you like them :)
Dawn <3
 ~ Don't mind god. He's just having a laugh.
~ Please god, if you're listening and not busy sprinkling gold dust on all the lucky people of the world, please do me this favor. I thank you for your time and patience. You can continue gold-dust sprinkling now.
~ You deserve someone who loves you with every single beat of his
heart, someone who spends every minute of his day just wondering what you're doing, where you are, who you're with, and if you're OK. You need someone who can help you reach your dreams and who can protect you from your fears. You need someone who will treat you with respect, love every part of you, especially your flaws. You should be with someone who can make you happy, really happy, dancing on air happy.
 - Things are just things - they have no power to hurt or heal. Only people can do that. And we can all choose whether to be hurt or healed by the people who love us.
- Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Shallow minds discuss people.
- You can give without loving, but you can't love without giving.
- If you can't return a favor, pass it on. :)
- In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life - It goes on.
- Don't let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was.
- The world's most sensible person and the biggest idiot both stay within us. The worst part if, you can't even tell who is who.
Well, I thought it was finally time to post start posting on here. :P And I'm a big fan of quotes since they have deep meanings, even though they consist of a few lines. Here are some of the ones I love and stick on my soft-board. They keep my spirits up and I hope you like them too ! :)
Love, Dawn <3
->Trusting god doesn't make the mountain smaller. It just makes the climbing easier. :) [yeah, I'm very religious]
->Believe where others doubt, work where others refuse, save where others waste and stay when others quit. Dare to be different.
->Those who believe they can do something and those who believe they can't, are both right.
->Good things fall apart so better things can fall together. :)
->Luck is something which comes to you when destiny gets tired of waiting. :)
->3 people can only keep a secret if 2 are in their graves. ;)
->"This is your life right now. It doesn't wait for you to get back on your feet." - A Lot Like Love.
->"What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger." - Dowager Princess Clarisse Renaldo, Princess Diaries :P
->Friendship is unnecessary, like art or philosophy - It has no survival value. Rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.
And one of my faves -
-> Sooner or later, we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, not the graduations, the weddings, not the great goal achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced. They wander around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these. :) <3
