Turn off the light," she says as she walks away, creating a small woosh that smells sweet and chemical. It makes me sad because it's the smell she makes when she's leaving. Augusten Burroughs
It is difficult to undo our own damage, and to recall to our presence that which we have asked to leave. It is hard to desecrate a grove and change your mind. The very holy mountains are keeping mum. We doused the burning bush and cannot rekindle it; we are lighting matches in vain under every green tree. Annie Dillard
Gilbert K. Chesterton quote: "No man should leave in the universe anything of which he is..."
No man should leave in the universe anything of which he is afraid. Gilbert K. Chesterton

Never such innocence, Never before or since, As changed itself to past. Without a word--the men. Leaving the gardens tidy, The thousands of marriages. Lasting a little while longer: Never such innocence again. Philip Larkin

One kind of good book should leave you asking: how did the author know that about me? Alain de Botton
Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit. Neil Gaiman
Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy - in fact, they are almost incompatible; one emotion hardly leaves room for the other. Robert A. Heinlein
George R. R. Martin quote: "Inform him that he does not have my leave to die. - Cercei..."
Inform him that he does not have my leave to die. - Cercei Lannister George R. R. Martin
You might say that he had lost the gift of evoking the perfumes of life: sea water, the smoke of burning hemlock, and the breasts of women. He had damaged, you might say, the ear's innermost chamber, where we hear the heavy noise of the dragon's tail moving over the dead leaves. John Cheever
To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intellingent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have... Ralph Waldo Emerson
F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "I can’t exactly describe how I feel but it’s not quite right...."
I can’t exactly describe how I feel but it’s not quite right. And it leaves me cold. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Mr ___ start up from his seat, look at Shug, plop back down again. He look over at me. I thought you was finally happy, hes say. What wrong now? You a lowdown dog is what's wrong, I say. It's time to leave you and enter into Creation. And your dead body just the welcome mat I need. Alice Walker
And you're too nice," he added, above the lap-lap of the water and the patter of sand on the water-lily leaves. "I was relying on you being too jealous to let that demon near the place. Diana Wynne Jones
