On typical days, (dust) is simply irritating. On Roid Rage days, it made me want to stomp down to the highway, pull drivers out of their cars, and bash their faces into pavement; Suck up that dirt like a good little Electrolux, Jersey Boy Bitch. Augusten Burroughs
The other day Nan said, 'Nothing can ever be quite the same for any of us again.' It made me feel rebellious. Why shouldn't things be the same again - when everything is over and Jem and Jerry are back? We'll all be happy and jolly again and these days will seem just like a bad dream. L. M. Montgomery
These napkins are more holy than righteous? Mrs. Wapshot said, and most of her conversation at table was made up of just such chestnuts, saws and hoary puns. John Cheever
Do you know why people are reading more books now than ever before? Because the terrific catastrophe of the war has made them realize that their minds are ill.

We are all reading, hungrily, hastily, trying to find out—after the trouble is over—what was the matter with our minds. Christopher Morley

F. Scott Fitzgerald quote: "and a Finnish woman, who made my bed and cooked breakfast and..."
and a Finnish woman, who made my bed and cooked breakfast and muttered Finnish wisdom to herself over the electric stove F. Scott Fitzgerald
How joyful to be together, alone as when we first were joined in our little house by the river long ago, except that now we know each other, as we did not then; and now instead of two stories fumbling to meet, we belong to one story that the two, joining, made. And now we touch each other with the tenderness of mortals, who know themselves... Wendell Berry
I never meant to call you Mudblood, it just-" Lily: "Slipped out? It’s too late. I’ve made excuses for you for years. None of my friends can understand why I even talk to you. You and your precious little Death Eater friends ... You’ve chosen your way, I’ve chosen mine. J. K. Rowling
His (Christ's) appearance in our midst has made it undeniably clear that changing the human heart and changing human society are not separate tasks, but are as interconnected as the two beams of the cross. Henri Nouwen
Some are born with knowledge, some derive it from study, and some acquire it only after a painful realization of their ignorance. But the knowledge being possessed, it comes to the same thing. Some study with a natural ease, some from a desire for advantages, and some by strenuous effort. But the achievement being made, it comes to the same thing. Confucius

Mark Haddon
When the souls rise up in glory, yours shall not be shunned nor sunderered, but shall be the prize of the gods' gardens. Even your darkness shall be treasured then, and all your pain made holy. Lois McMaster Bujold
