This month, I finished reading 7 books and I think I'd like to write down the quotes from these really wonderful books.
The Help - Kathryn Stocket
♥ You is kind. You is smart. You is important
♥ All I'm saying is, kindness have no boundaries
♥ That's the way prayer do. It's like electricity, it keep things going.
Between shades of Grey - Ruta Sepetys
♥ You stand for what is right, Lina, without the expectation of gratitude or reward.
♥ Sometimes kindness can be delivered in a clumsy way.
♥ A wrongdoing doesn't give us the right to do wrong.
House Rules - Jodi Picoult
♥ But I do. A part of being social means being civil to someone you don't like. That's stupid. It's a huge world. Why not get up and walk away?
♥ Sometimes I think the human heart is just a simple shelf. There's only so much you can pile onto it before something falls off an edge and you are left to pick up the pieces.
♥ The expression on people's faces are not always reflections of how they feel inside.
Before I fall - Lauren Oliver
♥ Hope keeps you alive
♥ That's the thing about best friends. That's the way they do. They keep you from spinning off the edge.
The Choice - Suzanne Woods Fisher
♥ Feelings follow intention
♥ God's loyol love couldn't have run out, his merciful love couldn't have dried up. They're created new every morning. How great your faithfulness!
Sister - Rosamund Lupton
♥ Nothin is as lonely as a phone that didn't ring.
♥ Time stops making any sense when someone you love has died.
♥ Our mind is who we are; it's where we feel and think and believe. It's where we have love and hate and faith and passion.

I blog hop alot - a whole lot. I often bookmark stuffs, add it in my google reader or pin things in pinterest. I read and take down so much stuff, I am always surprised to find notes long forgotten - in my phone, notepads and e-mail.
Cleaning my personal Inbox, I saw tons of drafts. This quote just caught my attention.
Everything in life is connected somehow. You may have to dig deep to find it but its there. Everything is the same even though its different. Somehow everything connects back with your life. The faces in certain places may be different, but the situation is the same. Irony is a hidden factor that creeps around us in life, letting its presence felt only after it has left. Picture back to a year ago and the situation you were in. Look at how things are different yet somehow everything it still in someway cognate. Everything connects together to form the balance of life, to maintain structure. Change is and always will be inevitable, but everything is relative, and all the moments and times in your life will come back around again, you just might find yourself on the other side of the coin. Things are always changing, as fast as everything stays the same.

Without belittling the courage with which men have died, we should not forget those acts of courage with which men … have lived. The courage of life is often a less dramatic spectacle than the courage of a final moment; but it is no less a magnificent mixture of triumph and tragedy. A man does what he must—in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures—and that is the basis of all human morality…. In whatever arena of life one may meet the challenge of courage, whatever may be the sacrifices he faces if he follows his conscience—the loss of his friends, his fortune, his contentment, even the esteem of his fellow men—each man must decide for himself the course he will follow. The stories of past courage can define that ingredient—they can teach, they can offer hope, they can provide inspiration. But they cannot supply courage itself. For this each man must look into his own soul.
-John F. Kennedy, Profiles in Courage
