"I can see you're trying to invent something!"I- I'm a little girl," said Alice, rather doubtfully, as she remembered the number of changes she had gone through that day......"How puzzling all these changes are! I'm never sure what I'm going to be, from one munute to another! However, I've got back to my right size: the next thing is, to get into that beautiful garden- how is that to be... Lewis Carroll

Mark Twain
Grandpa Martin Vanderhoff: Penny, why don't you write a play about Ism-Mania? Penny Sycamore: Ism-Mania? Grandpa Martin Vanderhoff: Yeah, sure, you know, Communism, Faschism, Voodoo-ism, everybody's got an -ism these days.

Michael Ende
As for his sudden change of heart, he had suddenly remembered the end of Mansfield Park, and how Edmund fell out of love with Mary Crawford and came to care for Fanny. Dulcie must surely know the novel well, and would understand how such things can happen. Barbara Pym
The sure mark of an unliterary man is that he considers "I've read it already" to be a conclusive argument against reading a work... Those read great works, on the other hand will read the same work ten, twenty or thirty times during the course of there life. C. S. Lewis
I've always held that early marriage is a sure indication of second-rate goods that had to be sold in a hurry." - Martin Harris L. M. Montgomery
