Timothy’s Quotes

“May the sun bring you new energy by day, may the moon softly restore you by night, may the rain wash away your worries, may the breeze blow new strength into your being, may you walk gently through the world and know it's beauty all the days of your life.”

“David Hartley appeared of the earth, of the moors. A man of smoke and peat and heather and fire, his body built for the hills. Where one began the other ended.”
― Benjamin Myers, The Gallows Pole

“The truth was, his job as a columnist was not to say what he thought, it was to say what people expected him to think, and as a result of his continual self-portrayal as an honest everyman, what people expected him to think was exactly the same as what they themselves thought, meaning that in reality, his job was to say what other people already thought so that they no longer had to feel guilty about thinking it.”
― Sam Byers, Perfidious Albion
