I thought that my voyage had come to its end at the last limit of my power, that the path before me was closed, that provisions were exhausted, and the time come to take shelter in a silent obscurity, but I find that thy will knows no end in me, and when old words die out on the tongue, new melodies break forth from the heart, and where the old tracks are lost, new country is revealed with its wonders. Rabindranath Tagore

George Orwell quote: "I often wondered whether any of the others grasped that I had..."
I often wondered whether any of the others grasped that I had done it solely to avoid looking a fool. George Orwell
She did not have time to wonder about his being late. He died bent over the sidewalk sign that stood out in front of the hardware store....He had not even had time to get into the store.... Alice Munro
I have been a stranger in a strange land, Halleck quoted. Paul stared at him, recognizing the quotation from the O.C. Bible, wondering: Does Gurney, too, wish an end to devious plots? Frank Herbert
There is something wonderful about a book. We can pick it up. We can heft if. We can read it. We can set it down. We can think of what we have read. It does something for us. We can share minds, great actions and great undertakings in the pages of a book. Gordon B. Hinckley

I always have a problem liking things that I'm told I should like. This has been the problem with most of the Wonders I have seen so far. The fact that this one is called the 'Great' Wall of China annoys me. I'll decide if it's great or not. It might end up being the 'All Right Wall of China' to me. Karl Pilkington
Teenage girls, please don’t worry about being super popular in high school, or being the best actress in high school, or the best athlete.
