About Me...

I am Sarah, and I am mostly a wreck but sometimes a writer and sometimes both.

Quotes that amuse and inspire:

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.” -Marianne Williamson

Little Ozzie answered on the second ring. 'Odd, my beautiful cow exploded.'
'Exploded?'
'Boom,' said Little Ozzie. 'One minute all is right with the world, and the next minute your fabulous cow is blown to bits.'
'When did this happen? I haven't heard anything about it.'
'Exactly two hours and twenty-six minutes ago. The police have been here and gone, and I believe that even they, with all their experience of criminal savagery, were shocked by this.'
'I just saw Chief Porter, and he didn't mention it.'
'After they left here, the responding officers no doubt needed a stiff drink or two before writing their report.'
'How are you doing?' I asked.
'I'm not bereft, because that would be a morally offensive overreaction, but I am sad.'
'I know how much you loved that cow.'
'I loved that cow,' he confirmed.
'I was thinking of coming over for a visit, but maybe this isn't the best time.'
'This is the perfect time, dear Odd. Nothing is worse than being alone on the evening of the day when one's cow has exploded.' -- from Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz.

By doing, I learn what to do. By going, I learn where to go. One day, by dying, I'll learn how to die, and leave the world and hope to land in light.
--from Odd Hours by Dean Koontz

Books to the ceiling,
Books to the sky,
My pile of books is a mile high.
How I love them! How I need them!
I'll have a long beard by the time I read them.
--Arnold Lobel

My personal hobbies are reading, listening to music, and silence.
--Edith Sitwell

I cannot live without books.
--Thomas Jefferson

we are all a little weird and life's a little weird and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love.
--Dr. Seuss

'You're such a nerd,' Annie would sigh.
'So? What's wrong with being a nerd?' Kate would snap. 'Bill Gates is a nerd, and he's the richest man in the world.'
'There's nothing wrong with being a nerd,' Annie would say patiently, as if she were merely stating the obvious. 'What's wrong- or at least monumentally inappropriate- is letting people know you're a nerd.'
--The Juliet Club by Suzanne Harper
