QUOTES AND EXCERPTS-

“There's a story... a legend, about a bird that sings just once in its life. From the moment it leaves its nest, it searches for a thorn tree... and never rests until it's found one. And then it sings... more sweetly than any other creature on the face of the earth. And singing, it impales itself on the longest, sharpest thorn. But, as it dies, it rises above its own agony, to out-sing the lark and the nightingale. The thorn bird pays its life for just one song, but the whole world stills to listen, and God in his heaven smiles…” – Ralph de Bricassart

Jen: I mean… from the second that I stepped out of that cab onto the creek I was the instigator, you know, the girl who caused problems and rocked the creek and upset the delicate emotional balance of Capeside and I don't want Amy to be that person. I want her to belong. I feel like I never really did.

Jack: Jen. You belong... you belong to me. Don't you get it? You're my soulmate. Amy's going to know love, everyday of her life she is going to know how much her mother loved her. I'm going to see to that. Ok? – Dawson’s Creek Season 6

Cristina, I could promise to hold you, and to cherish you. I could promise to be there, in sickness and in health. I could say till death do us part. But I won't. Those vows are for optimistic couples, the ones full of hope. I do not stand here on my wedding day optimistic or full of hope. I am not optimistic. I am not hopeful. I am sure. I am steady. I'm a heart man. Take them apart, put them back together, hold them in my hands. I am a heart man. So this, I am sure. You are my partner. My lover. My very best friend. My heart. My heart beats for you. And on this day, the day of our wedding, I promise you this. I promise you to lay my heart in the palm of your hands, I promise you... me.

He softly placed a second finger next to the first one and started traveling her features, stroking to the corner of her mouth and over her cheek, four fingers now, exploring every centimeter of her face. This was the last mystery that was left to solve. If she had been the one taking everything away from him, then maybe she was the only one who could give something back to him as well. Make him feel again, live again. – Excerpt from The Last Song, an amazing Jack/Nina story written by LuKEN

She stopped right in front of him and her gaze flickering between his eyes seemed to request some kind of permission. She took his silence as such and leaned in, kissing him softly on his lips. He wasn't sure if he kissed her back, but it only lasted a second or two… His face again wearing detestation, regret and longing at once, he lifted his hand to touch her a last time, as if to make sure she was really there. She closed her eyes when his fingertips ran over her cheek, lingering in the consolation for a moment, before she withdrew herself from him. Taking three steps backwards she brought some space between them again. Grasping the consequences of this night, their last night probably, they just stood there for what seemed like forever, staring at each other, a million words and thoughts dancing in the air between them, to remain unspoken for all time.

- Excerpt from Encore Piece, the stunning sequel to The Last Song

There was a clatter as the basilisk fangs cascaded out of Hermione’s arms. Running at Ron, she flung them around his neck and kissed him full on the mouth. Ron threw away the fangs and broomstick he was holding and responded with such enthusiasm that he lifted Hermione off her feet. – Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, pg. 625

Annabel Lee

It was many and many a year ago,

In a kingdom by the sea,

That a maiden there lived whom you may know

By the name of Annabel Lee;

And this maiden she lived with no other thought

Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,

In this kingdom by the sea:

But we loved with a love that was more than love--

I and my Annabel Lee;

With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven

Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,

In this kingdom by the sea,

A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling

My beautiful Annabel Lee;

So that her high-born kinsman came

And bore her away from me,

To shut her up in a sepulchre

In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in heaven,

Went on envying her and me--

Yes!--that was the reason (as all men know,

In this kingdom by the sea)

That the wind came out of the cloud by night,

Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love

Of those who were older than we--

Of many far wiser than we--

And neither the angels in heaven above,

Nor the demons down under the sea,

Can ever dissever my soul from the soul

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

For the moon never beams, without bringing me dreams

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And the stars never rise, but I feel the bright eyes

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side

Of my darling--my darling--my life and my bride,

In the sepulchre there by the sea,

In her tomb by the sounding sea.
