Since we've got an event coming up, I thought it might be nice if people posted quotes or lyrics for inspiration in case anybody needs a bit of a boost for their exchange fic! We did this before for Pentathlon here. Have tried to supply a variety of quotes, feel free to use them and add your own!

2. Some day, I will kiss you and you will like it. But not now, so I beg you not to be too impatient. (Gone with the Wind, Margaret Mitchell)
3. The darker the night, the brighter the stars. (Crime and Punishment, Fyodor Dostoyevsky)
4. A bird is safe in its nest - but that is not what its wings are made for. (World Peace: The Voice of a Mountain Bird, Amit Ray)
5. I opened my mouth, almost said something. Almost. The rest of my life might have turned out differently if I had. But I didn't. (The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini)
