His Quotes (page 482)

In New Mexico, he always awoke a young man, not until he arose and began to shave did he realize that he was growing older. His first consciousness was a sense of the light dry wind blowing in through the windows, with the fragrance of hot sun and sage-brush and sweet clover; a wind that made one's body feel light and one's heart cry 'To-day, to-day,' like a child's.

And what was worst of all was that *It* drew his attention to itself not in order to make him take some action but only that he should look at *It*, look it straight in the face: look at it and without doing anything, suffer inexpressibly. And to save himself from this condition Ivan Ilych looked for consolations -- new screens -- and new screens were found and for a while seemed to save him, but then they immediately fell to pieces or rather became transparent, as if *It* penetrated them and... Leo Tolstoy

Jean Valjean opened his eyes and looked at the bishop with an expression which no human tongue can describe. Victor Hugo
There was a leap of joy in him, like a flame lighting up in a dark lantern. At this moment he believed it was worth it. This moment of supreme beauty was worth all the wretchedness of the journey. It was always worth it. "For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory."

God made the angels to show Him splendor, as He made animals for innocence and plants for their simplicity. But Man He made to serve Him wittily, in the tangle of his mind. Thomas More
Yet in the blood of man there is a tide, an old sea-current rather, that is somehow akin to the twilight, which brings him rumours of beauty from however far away, as driftwood is found at sea from islands not yet discovered: and this spring-tide or current that visits the blood of man comes from the fabulous quarter of his lineage, from the legendary, the old; it takes him out to the woodlands, out to the hills; he listens to ancient song. Lord Dunsany

Dobby is a free elf, and Dobby has come to save Harry Potter and his friends! J. K. Rowling
When a man is willing to find an excuse for being God's enemy he need never be at a loss. He who hath to find a fact may find some difficulty; but he who would forge a lie may sit at his own fireside and do it. Charles Spurgeon
Mahatma Gandhi quote: "The earth has everything for all human needs, but nothing for..."
The earth has everything for all human needs, but nothing for his greed. Mahatma Gandhi
He got down easily by dropping uncontrollably from branch to branch until he landed on his head in a pile of pine needles, where he lay gasping for breath and wishing he'd been a better person. Terry Prachett
[God] is able to take your life, with all of the heartache, all of the pain, all of the regret, all of the missed opportunities, and use you for His glory. Charles R. Swindoll
John Steinbeck quote: "Some day, his mind said, that boy would know what things were..."
Some day, his mind said, that boy would know what things were in the books and what things were not. John Steinbeck
A lover asked his beloved, Do you love yourself more than you love me? Beloved replied, I have died to myself and I live for you. I've disappeared from myself and my attributes, I am present only for you. I've forgotten all my learnings, but from knowing you I've become a scholar. I've lost all my strength, but from your power I am able. I love myself...I love you. I love you...I love myself. Rumi
Noah Calhoun watched the fading sun sink lower from the wrap around porch of his plantation-style home. He liked to sit here in the evenings, especially after working hard all day. Nicholas Sparks
Joseph Conrad quote: " . . but in the great demoralization of the land he kept up..."
. . . but in the great demoralization of the land he kept up his appearance. That's backbone. Joseph Conrad
