1 " A book acts as the getaway car when you need to escape.Even when you're the one writing it. "
― Julie Wright
2 " What doesn't kill us gives us something new to write about. "
3 " We all carry around baskets of eggs, and these eggs are precious, they represent information about us, our concerns, our needs, our lives, our downfalls, everything. As we meet people and become more comfortable with them, we toss some of our eggs to these people and they, in turn, place those eggs in their baskets. But, there are times, when out of desperation, or immaturity, or whatever, we throw too many eggs at once, and the recipient can't catch them all, and a few get broken, and we then find out that this other person knows too much about us, or at least more than they wanted to know, and that then destroys the ability to truly be friends. "
4 " Love is like going snorkeling... You go along looking at pretty fish and cool plants until a wave rolls you over a coral reef... then the sharks come. "
― Julie Wright , Cross My Heart
5 " Just because a frog says he's a prince doesn't mean you should kiss him. For all you know he's one of the arrogant, worthless princes who might better serve society as a pair of buttered legs on someone's plate. "
6 " Writers don't have bad life days; they just have good research days. "
7 " Chapter breaks are not so readers have a place to stop reading; they're the breath to take before the roller coaster plummets down the hill "
8 " Love is a bruise. The best way to let it heal is to stop touching it. "
― Julie Wright , Lies Jane Austen Told Me
9 " Because deep in your heart you know Jane is right. Romance is fabulous and it's worth it! All the crap we go through, all the worry and wondering-it's all worth it if we can find that one person who makes us happy, that one person we can go to and cry with when life is bad and laugh with when life is good. That is what life is all about. It' about relationships and making them work. It's about sharing our lives with someone else we can have private jokes and people who have to put up with us even when we're disasters. If we don't take our own lives in our own hands, we lose. This is the power of Jane, Emma. This is the truth. This is where it all gets real. If Jane teaches us anything, it's that we have the right to choose our own loves in life. We don't have to settle for Mr. Collins if we don't want to. "
10 " I'd always wanted to be a princess saved by a magical knight. But now I wished I'd learned how to save myself FROM the knight - just a little bit. Why didn't anyone tell princesses that knights were sometimes more dangerous than dragons? "
― Julie Wright , Olivia (Newport Ladies Book Club, #1)
