"If by that you mean that I dislike celebrity magazines, prefer food to anorexia, refuse to watch TV shows about models, and hate the color pink, then yes. I am proud to be not really a girl."

"I’m a genius, Rory. I have deep and powerful clairvoyant abilities. For example, I can instantly deduce that when someone hears the name Paris in the same sentence with the word “date” jaws will drop, confused looks will cover faces, words like “how” and “why” and “Quick, Bob, get the children in the minivan because the world is obviously coming to an end” will immediately fly out of people’s mouths."
Paris Gellar. From Episode 1, Season 3 of Gilmore Girls.
I often think you could replace the name Paris in this with Jenna have a great understanding of my life.
"We are all a little weird, and life’s a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love."

"Stories you read when you’re the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you’ll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit."
Neil Gaiman (M Is for Magic)

"We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations… That part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail."

"I believe in the magic of books. I believe that during certain periods in our lives we are drawn to particular books—whether it’s strolling down the aisles of a bookshop with no idea whatsoever of what it is that we want to read and suddenly finding the most perfect, most wonderfully suitable book staring us right in the face. Unblinking. Or a chance meeting with a stranger or friend who recommends a book we would never ordinarily reach for. Books have the ability to find their own way into our lives."

“Oh, my God. I feel like I found out my favorite love song was written about a sandwich.”
