Here Lara stopped, closed her eyes and took a good breath of the air which carried all the smells of the huge countryside. It was dearer to her than her kin, better than a lover, wiser than a book. For a moment she rediscovered the meaning of her life. She was here on earth to make sense of its wild enchantment and to call each thing by its right name, or, if this were not within her power, then,... Boris Pasternak
Who's the best shot?" asked the captain. Mr. Trelawney, out and away," said I. Mr. Trelawney, will you please pick me off one of these men, sir? [Israel]Hands, if possible. Robert Louis Stevenson
My plea is that we stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight...I am asking that we look a little deeper for the good, that we still our voices of insult and sarcasm, that we more generously compliment and endorse virtue and effort. Gordon B. Hinckley
None of us are going to deny what other people are doing. If saying bullshit is somebody's thing, then he says bullshit. If somebody is an ass-kicker, then that's what he's going to do on this trip, kick asses. He's going to do it right out front and nobody is going to have anything to get pissed off about. He can just say, 'I'm sorry I kicked you in the ass, but I'm not sorry I'm an ass-kicker. That's what I do, I kick people in the ass.' Everybody is going to be what they are, and whatever... Tom Wolfe
The three of them set out every morning on adventures of their own kind. Once, an elderly professor of literature, Mrs. Taggart's friend, saw them on top of a pile in a junk yard, dismantling the carcass of an automobile. He stopped, shook his head and said to Francisco, 'A young man of your position ought to spend his time in libraries, absorbing the culture of the world.' 'What do you think I'm doing?' asked Francisco. Ayn Rand

She poured out the liquid music of her voice to quench the thirst of his spirit. Nathaniel Hawthorne
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them. With Major Major it had been all three. Even among men lacking all distinction he inevitably stood out as a man lacking more distinction than all the rest, and people who met him were always impressed by how unimpressive he was. Joseph Heller
Stephen King quote: "In the end we always wear out our worries. That’s what Wireman..."
In the end we always wear out our worries. That’s what Wireman says. Stephen King
Everything, as you well know (having lived in this world long enough to have figured out a thing or two for yourself), cannot always be sweetness and light. Kate DiCamillo
Dorothy L. Sayers quote: "She couldn't have found anything nastier to say if she had..."
She couldn't have found anything nastier to say if she had thought it out with both hands for a fortnight. Dorothy L. Sayers
She had been looking all along for a friend, and it took her a while to discover that a lover was not a comrade and could never be - for a woman. And that no one would ever be that version of herself which she sought to reach out to and touch with an ungloved hand. There was only her own mood and whim, and if that was all there was, she decided to turn the naked hand toward it, discover it and let others become as intimate with their own selves as she was. Toni Morrison
Henry David Thoreau quote: "This was that Earth of which we have heard, made out of Chaos..."
This was that Earth of which we have heard, made out of Chaos and Old Night. Henry David Thoreau
Social responsibility above the level of family, or at most of tribe, requires imagination-- devotion, loyalty, all the higher virtues -- which a man must develop himself; if he has them forced down him, he will vomit them out. Robert A. Heinlein
Eric Carle quote: "One Sunday morning the warm sun came up and - pop! - out of..."
One Sunday morning the warm sun came up and - pop! - out of the egg came a tiny and very hungry caterpillar. Eric Carle
He'd find out, he thought and nodded as he rose. " Are you worried about you? " It surprised her, the gentleness in his voice, the light brush of his knuckles over her jaw. She could lean against him, she realized with a jolt. She could lay her head on that shoulder, close her eyes, and for a moment at least, everything would be all right. She nearly stepped forward before she decided it would be foolish. " You're not going to be nice to me, are you? " " Maybe. " It might have... Nora Roberts
