| f409a31 | If I'm confused, or upset, or angry, if I can go out and look at the stars I'll almost always get back a sense of proportion. It's not that they make me feel insignificant; it's the very opposite; they make me feel that everything matters, be it ever so small, and that there's meaning to life even when it seems most meaningless. | life stars | Madeleine L'Engle | |
| 13b1e94 | We must pray when prayer seems dry as dust; we must write when we are physically tired, when our hearts are heavy, when our bodies are in pain. | Madeleine L'Engle | ||
| 4a5dd62 | I am slowly coming to understand with all my heart as well as my head that love is not a feeling. It is a person. | love | Madeleine L'Engle | |
| 4d7f0fd | Charles Wallace and the unicorn moved through the time-spinning reaches of a far glazy, and he realized that the galaxy itself was part of a mighty orchestra, and each star and planet within the galaxy added its own instrument to the music of the spheres. As long as the ancient harmonies were sung, the universe would not entirely lose its joy. | harmony joy music musical-instrument orchestra planet singing stars universe | Madeleine L'Engle | |
| ba72767 | Now the red eyes and the light above seemed to bore into Charles, and again the pupils fo the little boy's eyes contracted. When the final point of black was lost in blue he turned away from the red eyes, looked at Meg, and smiled sweetly, but the smile was not Charles Wallaces smile. | Madeleine L'Engle | ||
| 5e52a0f | Who makes you least confused?" "Calvin" There was no hesitation here. "When I'm with Calvin, I don't mind being me" "You mean he makes you more you, don't you?" "I guess you could put it that way." | love | Madeleine L'Engle | |
| 1bc49f9 | Madeleine L'Engle observes: "We do not draw people to Christ by loudly discrediting what they believe, by telling them how wrong they are and how right we are, but by showing them a light that is so lovely that they want with all their hearts to know the source of it." | Magnificat | ||
| f32bdcd | Many people are angry when they make a mistake, but very few people have the sense to be sorry. | Katherine Paterson | ||
| eeda28f | I just gave up trying to be a Christian... Let's face it, I ain't got the knack for holiness. Besides, I didn't have the slightest little desire to join the likes of Reverend Pelham at the dinner table for fourteen minutes, much less at the banquet table of Heaven eternally. Eternity is a mighty long time to be stuck with people who judge every word you say and think and condemn most of what you do. It struck me as pretty miserable company... | Katherine Paterson | ||
| dc4808e | Jess drew the way some people drink whiskey. | Katherine Paterson | ||
| d5e11d1 | All my dreams of leaving, but beneath them I was afraid to go. I had clung to them, to Rass, yes, even to my grandmother, afraid that if I loosened my fingers an iota, I would find myself once more cold and clean in a forgotten basket. | Katherine Paterson | ||
| c06adf9 | What are you on, Samuel?" This was easier, he glanced down. "Laminate." | Tanya Huff | ||
| 9d8398d | Pieter would be pleased with the rest of the coins, the debt now settled. I would not have cost him anything. A maid came free. | Tracy Chevalier | ||
| 6c95463 | I slowed my pace. Years of hauling water, wringing out clothes, scrubbing floors, emptying chamber pots, with no chance of beauty or color or light in my life, stretched before me like a landscape of flat land where, a long way off, the sea is visible but can never be reached. | Tracy Chevalier | ||
| 7695b9f | He looks as if he were three or four; looks just like one of those unapproachable, incomprehensible, willful little prehuman creatures, who in their ostensible innocence think only of themselves, who want to subordinate the whole world to their despotic will, and would do it, too, if one let them pursue their megalomaniacal ways and did not apply the strictest pedagogical principles to guide them to a disciplined, self-controlled, fully hum.. | Patrick Süskind | ||

| 4c7d3d5 | He was a master in the art of spreading boredom and playing the clumsy fool-though never so egregiously that people might enjoy making fun of him or use him as the butt of some crude practical joke inside the guild. He succeeded in being considered totally uninteresting. People left him alone. And that was all he wanted. | Patrick Süskind | ||

| 74b9f6e | Exista o forta de convingere a miresmei, mai puternica decat aceea a cuvantului, privirii, simtirii si vointei. Ea nu poate fi respinsa, ne patrunde-n plamani ca aerul respirat, se revarsa in noi, ne umple intru totul, nu exista impotriva sa niciun mijloc. | Patrick Süskind | ||

| 53951b1 | Encontrar el camino no era dificil, lo dificil era luchar contra el recuerdo de la pesadilla claustrofobica, que avanzaba en su interior, como una marea... Pero tenia valor; es decir, luchaba contra el miedo de no saber, contra el temor de la incertidumbre, y su lucha era efectiva porque sabia que no podia escoger. | Patrick Süskind | ||
| 1b0ec68 | Sintio como la sangre caliente volvia a darle vida y como se apoderaba de el la voluntad de llevar a cabo lo que se habia propuesto, incluso con mas fuerza que antes, porque ahora la voluntad no tenia su origen en un simple anhelo, sino que habia surgido de una decision meditada... Poseia para ello una personalidad demasiado tenaz, un temperamento demasiado retorcido y un espiritu demasiado refinado. | Patrick Süskind | ||
| 1d9d7bd | Aveva un odore semplice, il mare, ma nello stesso tempo cosi vasto e unico nel suo genere, che Grenouille esitava a suddividerlo in odore di pesce, di sale, di acqua, di alga, di fresco e cosi via. Preferiva lasciare intatto l'odore del mare, lo custodiva intero nella memoria e lo godeva indiviso. L'odore del mare gli piaceva tanto che avrebbe desiderato una volta averlo puro, non mescolato e in quantita tale da potersene ubriacare. | Patrick Süskind | ||
| 5d84a6d | He had soon so thoroughly smelled out the quarter between Saint-Eustache and the Hotel de Ville that he could find his way around in it by pitch-dark night. And so he expanded his hunting grounds, first westward to the Faubourg Saint-Honore, then out along the rue Saint-Antoine to the Bastille, and finally across to the other bank of the river into the quarters of the Sorbonne and the Faubourg Saint-Germain where the rich people lived. | Patrick Süskind | ||

| 18aca62 | Odours have a power of persuasion stronger than that of words, appearances, emotions or will. The persuasive power of an dour cannot be fended off, it enters into us like breath into our lungs, it fills us up, imbues us totally. There is no remedy for it. | Patrick Süskind | ||

Opening herself up like this, voluntarily, to a lifetime of worry and anguish. It was madness. Sheer lunacy.
