Quotes by Giovanna Fletcher

Reading is reading - no matter what the material.

I love the arrival of a new season — each one bringing with it its own emotion: spring is full of hope; summer is freedom; autumn is a colourful release, and winter brings an enchanting peace. Its hard to pick which one I enjoy the most — each time the new one arrives, I remember its beauty and forget the previous one whose qualities have started to dim.

Back at home I spent so much time on my own, but never once felt lonely. Here, even though I see hundreds more people each day, Ive never felt lonelier.

Because school, no matter how insignificant and annoying it may seem as we get older and cant wait to get away, sets us on our lifes path. Its plants ideas for us to thrive upon, teaches us where we want to go and who we want to be - feeding us the notion that our dreams are limitless, that we can do anything if we believe in it enough and truly set our minds to it. But, best of all, it encourages us to seek friendships of others, to learn to lean on them for support and to console them in return. After all, its the people you meet along the way who really make a lasting impression and who will, if your lucky, stick with you for the rest of your life.

Loving someone is something you can do from afar, admiring someone and appreciationg their existence in your life - but in loves different. Its all-cosnuming to the point where being away from taht person seems unbearable. Theres no stopping that feeling... ~ Ben

I hoped with every ounce of my being that he would have the pleasure of knowing love and heartache in the way that I did. It might sound strange me wanting my five-year-old son to experience heartache, but without it I wouldnt have met his mother - a wonderful woman who taught me just how uncomplicated falling in love can be when it is with the right person, as well as highlighting the notion that timing is everything. If I had met her earlier in life Ive no doubt that Id have made a complete mess of the whole thing. I wouldnt have been ready to receive her love or to give the love Id spent year accumulating.
