"What is past is past. never go back. Not for excuses. Not for justification, not for happiness. You are what you are, the world is what it is."

-- The Last Don,Mario Puzo

" It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way ' in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."

-- A Tale of two Cities, Charles Dickens

Sometimes I'd heard people say, ''That person's like a cork," but I never understood what they meant. To me a cork was like a stopper. If I couldn't get it back in the bottle after I'd opened it I'd trim it down with a knife. Like sharpening a pencil. And the cork would squeak. It was hard to cut because it wasn't hard or soft. And finally I understood what they meant when they said, "That person's like a cork..." Because I was like a cork myself. Not because I was born that way but because I had to force myself to be. And to make my heart like a stone. I had to be like a cork to keep on going because if instead of being a cork with a heart of stone I'd been life before, made of flesh that hurts when you pinch it, I'd never have gotten across such a high, narrow, long bridge.

La plaa del Diamant (The Time of the Doves) by Merc Rodoreda

It just tears me apart. I mean this whole books is just one beautiful poetry.

Being together isnt about a honeymoon, its about the real u and me , I want to wake up with u beside me in the mornings, I want to spend my evenings looking at u across the dinner table ... I want to share every mundane detail of my day with u and hear every details of urs , i want to laugh with u and fall asleep with u in my arms, because u arent just some one I loved back then, u were my best friend, my best self and i cant imagine giving up that again ...

I have re-read Prologue of Eye of the world many times. The prologue just keep getting awesome even after reading it many times. Actually at first read i didn't understand much what was happening in prologue. But later when more details are revealed in later books, i have come to realized the awesomeness of prologue.

The two, or three passages I keep going back to are

The Lily and James scene in SWM, actually whole of SWM. (I ship Lily and James hard, and it felt amazing to see Lily and James interacting for real, as them, and not just being talked about.)

The Ron and Hermione kiss from DH. THAT was an EPIC scene. How could I NOT read it again and again?

And the passage where Harry visits his house in Godric's hollow, and reads those messages that were written there for him. I cried so much reading it. That scene gets to me, every dam time. It's one scene I wish they'd kept in the movie.

I re-read certain passages (or quotes) because each time I read it my understanding of it grows and it allows me to find nuances that I may have missed. Sometimes it's the sheer beauty of the writing that compels me to read it over and over again.

"He smiled understandingly--much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced--or seemed to face-- the whole external world for an instant and then concentrated on YOU with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey."

"So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

- The Great Gatsby

---------------------------

"All right-the Mr. Vinsons. Once you get past all the Mr. Vinsons, you're going to start getting closer and closer-that is, if you want to, and if you look for it and wait for it-to the kind of information that will be very, very dear to your heart. Among other things, you'll find that you're not the first person who was confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You're by no means alone on that score, you'll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You'll learn from them-if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry."

- The Catcher in the Rye
