When you reach my age, you realize you couldn't have done things very much better or much worse than you did them in the first place. Jorge Luis Borges
What I want to say is that I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient with me & incredibly good. I want to say that - everybody knows it. If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I can't go on spoiling your life any longer. I don't think two people could have been happier than we have been. Michael Cunningham
Knowing is not simply a material act, since the object that is known always conceals something beyond the empirical datum. All our knowledge, even the most simple, is always a minor miracle, since it can never be fully explained by the material instruments that we apply to it. In every truth there is something more than we would have expected, in the love that we receive there is always an element that surprises us. Joseph Ratzinger
Charles Lindbergh quote: "I realized that If I had to choose, I would rather have birds..."
I realized that If I had to choose, I would rather have birds than airplanes. Charles Lindbergh
The Christian has a great advantage over other men, not by being less fallen than they nor less doomed to live in a fallen world, but by knowing that he IS a fallen man in a fallen world. C. S. Lewis
I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it is much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers that might be wrong. If we will only allow that, as we progress, we remain unsure, we will leave opportunities for alternatives. We will not become enthusiastic for the fact, the knowledge, the absolute truth of the day, but remain always uncertain? In order to make progress, one must leave the door to the unknown ajar. Richard P. Feynman
Anthony Trollope quote: "What on earth could be more luxurious than a sofa, a book, and..."
What on earth could be more luxurious than a sofa, a book, and a cup of coffee?...Was ever anything so civil? Anthony Trollope

It's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential. Barack Obama
Nancy Mitford quote: "Life itself, she thought, as she went upstairs to dress for..."
Life itself, she thought, as she went upstairs to dress for dinner, was stranger than dreams and far, far more disordered. Nancy Mitford
When I began to write our story down, I thought I was writing a record of hate, but somehow the hate has got mislaid and all I know is that in spite of her mistakes and her unreliability, she was better than most. It's just as well that one of us should believe in her: she never did in herself. Graham Greene
I think Kwan intended to show me the world is not a place but the vastness of the sou. And the soul is nothing more than love, limitless, endless, all that moves us toward knowing what is true....If people we love die, then they are lost only to our ordinary senses. If we remember, we can find them anytime with our hundred secret senses. Amy Tan
Here have lived for more centuries than I can count, the obscure generations of my own obscure family. Not one of these Richards, Johns, Annes, Elizabeths have left a token of himself behind him, yet all, working together with their spades and their needles, their love-making and their child-bearing have left this."-Viginia Woolf Virginia Woolf
Orhan Pamuk quote: "What was venerated as style was nothing more than an..."
What was venerated as style was nothing more than an imperfection or flaw that revealed the guilty hand. Orhan Pamuk
There is no broader way to apostasy than to reject God’s sovereignty in all things concerning the revelation of himself and our obedience... John Owen
Francois Truffaut quote: "Life has more imagination than we do."
