And you -- are you sure that man can conquer until he has been wholly defeated? are you sure that he can find plenitude till he has known utter despair?

...the more risks you allow children to take, the better they learn to take care of themselves. If you never let them take any risks, then I believe they become very prone to injury.

it is the great temptation of storytellers to love thetelling of stories more than the stories themselves C. S. Lewis
Sometimes our connection is frayed, it is in danger, it seems almost lost. Views and streets deny knowledge of us, the air grows thin. Wouldn't we rather have a destiny to submit to, than, something that claims us, anything, instead of such flimsy choices, arbitrary days? Alice Munro
The whole "misery loves company"thing never applies more than when you're breaking up. The thought that theother person is doing fine is simply too much to bear. Emily Giffin
Ye ken, we've been robbin' and running aroound on all kinds o' worlds for a lang time, and I'll tell ye this: The universe is a lot more comp-li-cated than it looks from the ooutside. Terry Prachett
They deserved nothing less than the truth--a vacant universe and a cooling world, the right to be happy in any way they chose. Graham Greene
