Maggie Stiefvater quote #20 from The Dream Thieves

Adam was in the dream too he traced the tangled pattern of ink with his finger. He said Scio quid hoc est. As he traced it further and further down on the bare skin of Ronans back Ronan himself disappeared entirely and the tattoo got smaller and smaller. It was a Celtic knot the size of a wafer and then Adam who had become Kavinsky said Scio quid estis vos. He put the tattoo in his mouth and swallowed it.Ronan woke with a start ashamed and euphoric.The euphoria wore off long before the shame did.He was never sleeping again.

Joni Eareckson Tada quote #105 from The God I Love: A Lifetime of Walking with Jesus

Joni discovered the best way to put the halter on her horse without being animal resisting and fleeing was to turn her back until he nuzzled up to her. At that point she could slip the halter on. Just so she surmises sometimes God waits for us to turn our backs on what we desire most and to trust Him.

Roman Payne famous quote #99

As for girls they must risk everything for freedom and give everything for passion... loving everything that their hearts and their bodies love. The only thing higher for a girl and more sacred for a young woman than her freedom and her passion should be her desire to make her life into poetry surrendering everything she has to create a life as beautiful as the dreams that dance in her imagination.

Roman Payne famous quote #19

As I look back on my life I think of how few rules should be followed. As for men we must learn bravery and live for Pleasure and for Beauty. More important than those two things should stand only one thing for us... Honor. A mans honor should be more sacred to him than his life especially in our age a time when very few men know what honor is.
