Love can be a poison.

You could do anything, if only you dared. And deep down, you know it, too. That’s what scares you most.

Libraries were full of ideas-perhaps the most dangerous and powerful of all weapons.

We all bear scars,... Mine just happen to be more visible than most.

You could be your own spotlight!

One kind kiss before we part, Drop a tear and bid adieu; Though we sever, my fond heart Till we meet shall pant for you.
