(in no particular order)
Further up and further in! ~The Last Battle by C.S. Lewis
"Love is the spice of life!" Aunt Lydia picked up her glass and took a long drink before setting it down again.
"Did it end in heartache, dear?"
"Well, yes...but it was the good kind of heart ache, Aunt Lydia. The kind where you'll always think fondly of each other, even though you know your love could never be."
My aunt squealed with delight. "Ooh, I just love stories that end that way! Those happy, sappy endings in romance novels aren't realistic at all. But if you can gaze up at the stars at night and think fondly of your lost love, then it's worth falling in love and losing him."
"You're absolutely right." ~Wonderland Creek by Lynn Austin (my review)
Look at that sea, girls--all silver and shadow and vision of things not seen. We couldn't enjoy its loveliness any more if we had millions of dollars and ropes of diamonds. ~Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us." ~The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien
I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! -- When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library. ~Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen
Keep good company, read good books, love good things and cultivate soul and body as faithfully as you can.~Rose in Bloom by Louisa May Alcott
You have to be a speedy reader because there’s so so much to read. ~I Can Read with my Eyes Shut by Dr. Seuss
The question of what makes a hero occupied Greek art & literature for over two thousand years. But not us. Today we're modern. We've summed it all up in one flash-bang two-hour film. We say it's simple. A hero is a guy who wins. You know what I say to that? Rubbish! ...A hero is somebody willing to risk all to gain all. It doesn't matter whether he wins or not. What matters is he tries. What matters is what he tries for. ~All through the Night by Davis Bunn
Now, faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. ~Hebrews 11:1 (NIV84)
