I wish I could have the ability to write down the feelings I have now while I’m still little, because when I grow up I will know how to write, but I will have forgotten what being little feels like.

Fate is like a strange, unpopular restaurant filled with odd little waiters who bring you things you never asked for and don’t always like.

A book that changed your opinion about something
Sarah:
Lady Chatterley’s Lover by D. H. Lawrence.
this book was a real eye-opener for me. it changed the way i think about love and sex and relationships a lot and made me appreciate them in ways which had never occurred to me before. it opened my mind, you could say. and made me realise with more clarity that sex doesn’t just equal shameful or taboo or pure lust, but can epitomise love and intimacy and equality, and is not something to be hushed up but rather something to celebrate and be proud of. it’s about exploration and understanding yourself. it also confirmed for me that there are no barriers other than the ones that you create for yourself, and you should do what you want in life and not what others expect of you.
Andy:
Northern Lights by Phillip Pullman
This book changed the way I thought about so many things. The concept of original sin, the way adolescence is portrayed, even the friendship between Lyra and Roger, led me to look at so many things in life differently. A must read for people out there.
