Sharp knives seemed to cut her delicate feet, yet she hardly felt them, so deep was the pain in her heart. She could not forget that this was the last night she would ever see the one for whom she had left her home and family, had given up her beautiful voice, and had day by day endured unending torment, of which he knew nothing at all. An eternal night awaited her. Hans Christian Andersen

Q.Do you have any positive message, in your opinion? A.Indeed I do think that I do. Q.Such as what? A.The crying, almost screaming, need of a great worldwide human effort to know ourselves and each other a great deal better, well enough to concede that no man has a monopoly on right or virtue any more than any man has a corner on duplicity and evil and so forth. If people, and races and nations, would start with that self-manifest truth, then I think that the world could sidestep the sort of... Tennessee Williams
What madness! Yet she would do it, if she could force herself. She'd become, she believed, a stronger person: a willful, resolute. Like the man who adored her, reckless. Joyce Carol Oates
I said that I thought the secret of life was obvious: be here now, love as if your whole life depended on it, find your life's work, and try to get hold of a giant panda. If you had a giant panda in your back yard, anything could go wrong? someone could die, or stop loving you, or you could get sick? and if you could look outside and see this adorable, ridiculous, boffo panda, you'd start to laugh; you'd be so filled with thankfulness and amusement that everything would be O.K. again. Anne Lamott
I'm not living the life I thought I would lead, but it does have meaning, purpose. There is love... there is joy... there is laughter. Christopher Reeve
Jane Austen quote: "She was one of those, who, having, once begun, would be always..."
She was one of those, who, having, once begun, would be always in love. Jane Austen
It had formerly been my endeavor to study all sides of his character: to take the bad with the good; and from the just weighing of both, to form an equitable judgment. Now I saw no bad. The sarcasm that had repelled, the harshness that had startled me once, were only like keen condiments in a choice dish: their presence was pungent, but their absence would be felt as comparatively insipid. Charlotte Bronte
Some day the laws of glamour must be discovered, because they are so important that the world would be wiser now if Sir Isaac Newton had been hit on the head, not by an apple, but by a young lady. Booth Tarkington
Confucius quote: "If there were one word that could act as a standard of conduct..."
If there were one word that could act as a standard of conduct for one's entire life, perhaps it would be 'thoughtfulness. Confucius
E. M. Forster quote: "It happened like this, if it happened at all. I would rather..."
It happened like this, if it happened at all. I would rather go up to heaven by myself than be pushed by cherubs. E. M. Forster
Paulo Coelho quote: "The Lord heareth the prayers of those who ask to put aside..."
The Lord heareth the prayers of those who ask to put aside hatred. But he is deaf to those who would flee from love. Paulo Coelho
Blessed be God's name? Why, but why would I bless Him? Every fiber in me rebelled. Because He caused thousands of children to burn in His mass graves? Because he kept six crematoria working day and night, including Sabbath and the Holy Days? Because in His great might, He had created Auschwitz, Birkenau, Buna, and so many other factories of death? How could I say to Him: Blessed be Thou, Almighty, Master of the Universe, who chose us among all nations to be tortured day and night, to watch as... Elie Wiesel
I would rather have bowel surgery in the woods with a stick. If you are not stung or pronged to death in some unexpected manner, you may be fatally chomped by sharks or crocodiles, or carried helplessly out to sea by irresistible currents, or left to stagger to an unhappy death in the baking outback. Bill Bryson
