| 5d0217c | The consolation of fairy-stories, the joy of the happy ending; or more correctly of the good catastrophe, the sudden joyous "turn" (for there is no true end to any fairy-tale): this joy, which is one of the things which fairy-stories can produce supremely well, is not essentially "escapist," nor "fugitive." In its fairy-tale -- or otherworld -- setting, it is a sudden and miraculous grace: never to be counted on to recur. It does not deny t.. | J.R.R. Tolkien | ||

"Shame it doesn't come with a parachute - in case you get too near a Dementor." Crabbe and Goyle sniggered.

| ee0df14 | Some people appear to be happy, but they simply don't give the matter much thought. Others make plans: I'm going to have a husband, a home, two children, a house in the country. As long as they're busy doing that, they're like bulls looking for the bullfighter: they react instinctively, they blunder on, with no idea where the target is. They get their car, sometimes they even get a Ferrari, and they think that's the meaning of life, and the.. | sadness life material | Paulo Coelho | |
| c25429d | And when two such people encounter each other, and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant.

| 31e5bc7 | At some point, as Richard keeps telling me, you gotta let go and sit still and allow contentment to come to you. Letting go, of course, is a scary enterprise for those of us who believe that the world revolves only because it has a handle on the top of it which we personally turn, and that if we were to drop this handle for even a moment, well - that would be the end of the universe. But try dropping it....Sit quietly for now and cease your.. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
