• As parents, we should remember that our lives may be the book from the family library which the children most treasure. Are our examples worthy of emulation? Do we live in such a way that a son or a daughter may say, ‘I want to follow my dad,’ or ‘I want to be like my mother’? Unlike the book on the library shelf, the covers of which shield its contents, our lives cannot be closed. Parents, we truly are an open book in the library of learning of our homes.

• I am of the opinion, and even more so the older I get, that it is more difficult to have hope than it is to despair.

• While life is meant to test, challenge, and strengthen us, if we are attempting to negotiate the twists and turns and ups and downs of mortality alone, we're doing it all wrong. Mortality is a test, but it is an open book test. We have access not only to the divine text but to Him who authored it.

• What we want
  is never simple.
  We move among the things
  we thought we wanted:
  a face, a room, an open book
  and these things bear our names -
  now they want us.
  But what we want appears
  in dreams, wearing disguises.
  We fall past,
  holding out our arms
  and in the morning
  our arms ache.
  We don't remember the dream,
  but the dream remembers us.
  It is there all day
  as an animal is there
  under the table,
  as the stars are there.

  Linda Pastan

• Hey." She said, looking up from an open book propped up on one knee. She brushed a few strands of pale hair out of her face. Her boyfriend, Christian, lay on the floor near her, his head propped up on her other knee. He greeted me by way of a nod. Concidering the antagonism the sometimes flared up between us, that was almost on par with him giving me a bear hug.

• Everything is an open book. I don't speak on other people's hardship, but if it happened in my life or something that has been an experience on my particular journey, I'm going to talk about it. That's what my fan base appreciates the most. I'm universal. You can relate to the things I say or that I go through.
