Prayer is like water - something you can't imagine has the strength or power to do any good, and yet give it time and it can change the lay of the land. Jodi Picoult

Wolf's wool is the best wool, but it cannot be sheared, because the wolf will not comply. With knowledge as with wolves' surliness, the student studies voluntarily, refusing to be less than individual. He "gives his opinion and then rests upon it"; he renders service when there is no reward, and is too reclusive for some things to seem to touch him; not because he has no feeling but because he has so much. Marianne Moore
Grief ... gives life a permanently provisional feeling. It doesn't seem worth starting anything. I can't settle down. I yawn, I fidget, I smoke too much. Up till this I always had too little time. Now there is nothing but time. Almost pure time, empty successiveness. C. S. Lewis
I am jealous of everything whose beauty does not die. I am jealous of the portrait you have painted of me. Why should it keep what I must lose? Every moment that passes takes something from me and gives something to it. Oh, if it were only the other way! If the picture could change, and I could be always what I am now! Why did you paint it? It will mock me some day—mock me horribly! Oscar Wilde

C. S. Lewis

Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more. Mark Twain

I felt Holmes's hand steal into mine and give me a reassuring shake.- Watson Arthur Conan Doyle
