Hey!! My name is Dana, and I’m 25 years old graphic designer, I love art and books, I love to read books and collect them, books are my passion, I have been reading since I learned to spell words, before that my mother used to read my favorite bed time stories to me (usually anything with ‘Princess’ in it), I wanted to live in every book ever since, and I know, that someday I will write a book, tell a story that is worth reading. Written words are like tattoos to me; they burn in my mind and brand my papers, demanding my ink to spell what my heart is longing to say. I just love good stories.
I love rainy days especially with lighting and thunder, watching movies old and new from all over the world, singing out loud to invisible audience while driving, bathing, cooking and in my bedroom, and I m obsessed with watching TV series (ex: Gilmore Girls - One Tree Hill - Sex and the City - FRIENDS - The Nanny - The Vampire Diaries - The Secret Circle - True Blood - Game of Thrones - The O.C. - Desperate Housewives - Grey s Anatomy - The Starter Wife - Teen Wolf - The Nine Lives of Chloe King - Happily Divorced - Happy Endings - The Borgias - Summer-land - Being Human... I love mini-series, especially British ones like anything based on a classic like Jane Austen books. And I like Reality life series as well like: The Hills - Kardashian (They have so many) - Newlyweds...etc).
I love romantic stories, especially the ones with happy endings. I traveled to some places, but I want to travel to exotic places filled with different cultures, strange food and beautiful fashion customs... I m so into fashion and art, so I like to draw and now I m trying to learn painting in oil colors and sewing my own designs. I love flowers, especially: Narcissus - Peony - Tulip - Rose - Gardenia - Jasmine - Iris - Lily and many, many more!

•From ‘A Little Princess’:I am a princess. All girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in rags, even if they aren't pretty, or smart, or young. They're still princesses.
•Poems and Quotes about Books and Reading:Isn't it odd how much fatter a book gets when you read it several times? As if something were left between the pages every time you read it. Feelings, thoughts, sounds, smells... and then when you look at the book again many years later, you find yourself there, too, a slightly younger self, slightly different, as if the book had preserved you like a pressed flower... both strange and familiar.
The lofty bookshelves sag
Under thousands of sleeping souls
Silence, hopeful ----
Every time I open a book, a soul is awakened.
All the words are written in the same ink,
Flower and power, say, are much the same,
And though I might write blood, blood, blood
All over the page, the paper would not be stained
Nor would I bleed.
I dreamt a limitless book,
A book unbound,
Its leaves scattered in fantastic abundance
On every line there was a new horizon drawn,
New heavens supposed;
New states, new souls.
There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any courser like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How Frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!
Lo, on the whiteness of the wall,
Behold, appeared a human hand,
Which wrote and wrote, in letters tall,
A fiery message for the land.
It was a page he had
Found in the handbook
Of heartbreak.
The joy of writing
The power of preserving,
Revenge of mortal hand.
All I need is a sheet of paper
And something to write with, and then
I can turn the world upside down.
True, I talk of dreams,
Which are the children of an idle brain,
Begot of nothing but vain fantasy,
Which is as thin of substance as the air.
In books I meet the dead as if they were alive,
In books I see what is yet to come...
All things decay and pass with time...
Some books should be tasted
Some devoured
But only few
Should be chewed and digested thoroughly.
•The strongest memory is weaker then the palest ink.
•If I knew where poems came from, I d go there.
•There s nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and open a vein.
•Each time someone dies, a library burns.
•If there's a book you really want to read but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.
•A poet is someone who stands outside in the rain hoping to be struck by lightning.
