  • Nobody really metamorphoses. Cinderella is always Cinderella, just in a nicer dress. The Ugly Duckling was always a swan, just a smaller version. And I bet the tadpole and the caterpillar still feel the same, even when they're jumping and flying, swimming and floating.Just like I am now.

  • You need to stop caring what people who don't matter think of you. Be who you are and let everybody else be who they are. Differences are a good thing.

  • If you don't make yourself irreplaceable, somebody will replace you. Being different is being remembered. Being the same is being forgotten.

  • It's the first and only rule. Magic comes when you're not looking for it.

  • Well?" Nat says after a few seconds"I'm surprised you're here again, Harriet. I thought you'd be busy auditioning for A Midsummer Night's Dream."I blink a few times in surprise"No. I'm not.""You should be. I heard they're looking for an ass."Oh. Now why can't I think of quips like that when I need them?

  • ...Our stories are drive by who we are and what we do, and not by the events that happens to us.

  • Because here's the thing about a book: when you pick up a story, you put down your own.

  • Never underestimate the power of a well-placed apostrophe.

  • Nobody hopped into a wardrobe to find Narnia; they hopped in, thinking it was just a wardrobe. They didn't climb up the Faraway Tree, knowing it was a Faraway Tree; they thought it was just a really big tree. Harry Potter thought he was a normal boy; Mary Poppins was supposed to be a regular nanny. It's the first and only rule. Magic comes when you're not looking for it

  • That's the thing about love. You can plan it, and schedule it, and map it out. You can tell it how you want it to be, and where you want it to go, and what it's supposed to do. You can try to make it fit you. But it won't listen to any of it. Love puts itself first, and makes its own plans. It maps you out instead. Maybe that's what makes it perfect.
