| 8ebbd82 | Ridicule is a terrible witherer of the flower of the imagination. It binds us where we should be free. | Madeleine L'Engle | ||
| c022edf | But I love her. That's the funny part of it. I love them all, and they don't give a hoot about me. Maybe that's why I call when I'm not going to be home. Because I care. Nobody else does. You don't know how lucky you are to be loved. | Madeleine L'Engle | ||
| c9a3eb5 | Love isn't what you feel. It's what you do. | Madeleine L'Engle | ||

| a83201d | Pray all you like, ask anything you want, but don't forget that he never promised he'd say yes. He never guaranteed us anything. Not anything at all. Except one thing. Just one thing . . . . That he cares . . . That is all. Nothing else. | god prayer | Madeleine L'Engle | |
| 2485f38 | Sorry. I get attacks of quotitis every once in a while. It's a very rare disease with no cure. It usually attacks older people, and here i am afflicted with it at my tender age. | humor quotes | Madeleine L'Engle | |
| c31a4a3 | The artist cannot hold back; it is impossible, because writing, or any other discipline of art, involves participation in suffering, in the ills and the occasional stabbing joys that come from being part of the human drama. | drama joy pain | Madeleine L'Engle | |
| 750449d | We're not peculiar." "Oh, yes, you are. Don't you realize that in my world my parents are peculiar because they'd never been divorced?

| e9b7728 | He had promised Leslie that after Christmas he would stay home and fix up the house and plant his garden and listen to music and read books out loud and write only in his spare time. | Katherine Paterson | ||
| c5bd1f5 | Jess tried going to Terabithia alone, but it was no good. It needed Leslie to make the magic. | Katherine Paterson | ||
| adbaf75 | could be a magic country like Narnia, and the only way you can get in is by swinging across on this enchanted rope. | Katherine Paterson | ||
| f847507 | Jess wouldn't argue that, but he saw her as a beautiful wild creature who had been caught for a moment in that dirty old cage of a schoolhouse, perhaps by mistake. | Katherine Paterson | ||
| a92f9d9 | Brenda's pouting voice broke in, "Your girl friend's dead, and Momma thought you was dead, too." | Katherine Paterson | ||
| 1515f87 | It was a three-dimensional nightmare version of some of his own drawings. | Katherine Paterson | ||
| efe4384 | Don't tell me no one ever gave you a chance. You don't need anything given to you. You can make your own chances. But first you have to know what you're after, my dear. | Katherine Paterson | ||
| da64401 | It seemed to Gilly that everything in this world that you can't stand to wait one extra minute for is always late. | Katherine Paterson | ||
| 2bfaaa5 | I was quite sure I was crazy, and it was amazing that as soon as I admitted it, I became quite calm. There was nothing I could do about it. I seemed relatively harmless. After | Katherine Paterson | ||
| 04db62e | Bridge to Terabithia takes us by the hand and leads us into a room that we have never entered before. After we read this story, we cannot unknow what we now know.

Someone trusted us enough to tell us the truth; and because of that, the room is golden, brimful of light. | Katherine Paterson | ||
| 8b18a3a | That's just what I need," she muttered, digging around in her bag, "a depressed vampire." | Tanya Huff | ||
| f3b4894 | But I am a knight of the Round Table," he protested, weakly.

| 3ef4e41 | he was a collector rather than a hunter, buying his knowledge rather than seeking it with his own eyes and hands. I | Tracy Chevalier | ||
| eca5f18 | It seemed to me that the baker had an honest response to the painting. Van Ruijven tried too hard when he looked at paintings, with his honeyed words and studied expressions. He was too aware of having an audience to perform for, whereas the baker merely said what he thought. | Tracy Chevalier | ||
| 274b33d | I knew I should believe him, as he taught at Oxford, but his answers did not feel complete. It was like having a meal and not getting quite enough to eat. | Tracy Chevalier | ||
| 2482d7d | This was the sort of situation that she read about in the novels she favored, by authors such as Miss Jane Austen, whom Margaret was sure she'd met long ago at the Assembly Rooms the first time we visited Lyme. One of Miss Austen's books had even featured Lyme Regis, but I did not read fiction and could not be persuaded to try it. Life itself was far messier and didn't end so tidily with the heroine making the right match. We Philpot sister.. | Tracy Chevalier | ||
| e67a2dd | Perhaps thee will best understand what Abigail is like if I tell thee that when she quilts she prefers to stitch in the ditch, hiding her poor stitches in the seams between the blocks. | Tracy Chevalier | ||
| 741b40a | But the beauty of the woods, the incredible joy of it is too alluring to be ignored, and I could not stand to be away from it--indeed, still can't--and so I ran dogs simply to run dogs; to be in and part of the forest, the woods | Gary Paulsen | ||
| bfc135d | You want to stay hungry...to learn. You get full, you get sleepy, lazy; you get lazy, you don't learn. | Gary Paulsen | ||
| 400a5eb | He moved to the trees. Where the bark was peeling from the trunks it lifted in tiny tendrils, almost fluffs. Brian plucked some of them loose, rolled them in his fingers. They seemed flammable, dry and nearly powdery. He pulled and twisted bits off the trees, packing them in one hand while he picked them with the other, picking and gathering until he had a wad close to the size of a baseball. Then he went back into the shelter and arranged .. | Gary Paulsen | ||

| cc9ac03 | Change is good, but sometimes leaving things the way they've always been is better. | Gary Paulsen | ||
| 1cf6fa5 | And he's never met anyone like Harris, his unruly daredevil of a cousin. | Gary Paulsen | ||
| 3aff154 | In a real situation, like when I was here before, there were things wrong--going wrong. The plane didn't land and set me on the shore. It crashed. A man was dead. I was hurt. I didn't know anything. Nothing at all. I was, maybe, close to death and now we're out here going la-de-da, I've got a fish; la-de-da, there are some more berries. | Gary Paulsen | ||
| 62a6d9d | I began to understand that they are not wrong or right--they just are. Wolves don't know they are wolves. That's a name we have put on them, something we have done. I do not know how wolves think of themselves, nor does anybody, but I did know and still know that it was wrong to think they should be the way I wanted them to be. | Gary Paulsen | ||
| 814b20a | And now I saw how easy it was for the Providence of God to make the most miserable Condition Mankind could be in worse. Now I look'd back upon my desolate solitary Island, as the most pleasant Place in the World, and all the Happiness my Heart could wish for, was to be but there again. I stretch'd out my Hands to it with eager Wishes. O happy Desart, said I, I shall never see thee more. O miserable Creature, said I, whether am I going: Then.. | Daniel Defoe | ||
| 0afe215 | Call on me in the day of trouble, and I will deliver, and thou shalt glorify me. | Daniel Defoe | ||
| fef0039 | He told me it was for men of desperate fortunes on one hand, or of aspiring, superior fortune on the other, who when abroad upon adventures, to rise by enterprize, and make themselves famous in undertakings of a nature out of the common road; that these things were all either too far above me, or to far below me; that mine was the middle state, or what might be called the upper station of low life, which he had found by long experience was .. | Daniel Defoe | ||
