Harry, just go down to the lake tomorrow, right, stick your head in, yell at the merpeople to give back whatever they’ve nicked, and see if they chuck it out. Best you can do, mate. J. K. Rowling
Jodi Picoult quote: "In my family, we seem to have a tortured history of not saying..."
In my family, we seem to have a tortured history of not saying what we ought to and not meaning what we do. Jodi Picoult
Finding it so directly on the threshold of our narrative, which is now about to issue from that inauspicious portal, we could hardly do otherwise than pluck one of its flowers and present it to the reader. It may serve, let us hope, to symbolize some sweet moral blossom, that may be found along the track, or relieve the darkening close of a tale of human frailty and sorrow. Nathaniel Hawthorne
T. S. Eliot quote: "I do not know much about gods; but I think that the river is a..."
I do not know much about gods; but I think that the river is a strong brown god-sullen, untamed and intractable . . . T. S. Eliot
I have a question. What if your advice doesn't help me? Do I get my money back?"No, because as soon as you pay me, I run right out and spend it. That's one of the first things they teach you in medical school! Charles M. Schulz
That's how it is: even in the throes of death, man is always on stage. And even 'the plainest' of them, the least exhibitionist, because it's not always the man himself who climbs on stage. If he doesn't do it, someone will put him there. That is his fate as a man. Milan Kundera
Believest thou? then thou wilt speak boldly. Speakest thou boldy? then thou must suffer. Sufferest thou? then thou shalt be comforted. For ... faith, the confession thereof, and the cross do follow one another. Martin Luther
Edward Ferrars was not recommended to their good opinion by any peculiar graces of person or address. He was not handsome, and his manners required intimacy to make them pleasing. He was too diffident to do justice to himself; but when his natural shyness was overcome, his behaviour gave every indication of an open, affectionate heart. Jane Austen
Why do you persist in being so frivolous, Urgit?"Why don't we just call it a symptom of my incipient madness?"You're not going to go mad," she said firmly."Of course I'm going to go mad, mother. I'm rather looking forward to it. David Eddings
The Lord commands us to do good unto all men without exception, though the majority are very undeserving when judged according to their own merits... [The Scripture] teaches us that we must not think of man's real value, but only of his creation in the image of God to which we owe all possible honor and love. John Calvin
There is no reason in the world why you should not be important where you are known. You have good sense, and a sweet temper, and I am sure you have a grateful heart, that could never receive kindness without hoping to return it. I do not know any better qualifications for a friend and companion. Jane Austen
Vladimir Nabokov quote: "All my best words are deserters and do not answer the trumpet..."
...All my best words are deserters and do not answer the trumpet call, and the remainder are cripples. Vladimir Nabokov
Why do they never tell us that you are poor devils like us, that your mothers are just as anxious as ours, and that we have the same fear of death, and the same dying and the same agony—Forgive me, comrade; how could you be my enemy? Erich Maria Remarque
There are few men who do not look back in secret to some period of their youth, at which a sincere and early affection was repulsed, or betrayed, or became abortive through opposing circumstances. It is these little passages of secret history, which leave a tinge of romance in every bosom, scarce permitting us, even in the most busy or advanced period of life, to listen with total indifference to a tale of true love. Walter Scott
People don't get better, they just get smarter. When you get smarter you don't stop pulling wings off flies, you just think of better reasons for doing it. Lots of kids say they feel sorry for Carrie White -- Mostly girls, and that's a laugh, but I bet none of them understand what it's like to be Carrie White, every second of every day. And they don't really care. Stephen King
