No pit is so deep that He is not deeper still; with Jesus even in our darkest moments, the best remains and the very best is yet to be. Corrie Ten Boom

We are not living in a private world of our own. Everything we say and do and think has its effect on everything around us. John Galsworthy
Perhaps the story in the book is just the lid on a pan: It always stays the same, but underneath there's a whole world that goes on - developing and changing like our own world. Cornelia Funke
Ozzy Osbourne quote: "We set up our gear for the tune-up and Tony [Iommi] launched..."

True Wit is Nature to advantage dress'dWhat oft was thought, but ne'er so well express'd; Something whose truth convinced at sight we find, That gives us back the image of our mind. As shades more sweetly recommend the light, So modest plainness sets off sprightly wit. Alexander Pope
