Quotes by Michael Delaware  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“He wagged his tail, and his whole body tingled. He realized the emptiness inside was not filled with happiness. Blue felt a glow within that was a result of more than just the warm sunshine on a spring day.
It was more than just the gentle tumble of the waterfall, or the wind or the sound of birds. It was much, much more he knew. He looked about him and he knew he had found what he had been looking for.
He had found more than his true heart's desire...
He had found a forever home!”
Michael Delaware, Blue and the Magical Forest: The Power of Hopes and Dreams

“Don't you see? You created this forest! It is your imagination that has given these trees the water to grow. It is your hopes that blazed a path through it. It is your dreams that give it the magic. All of this was created from within you!”
Michael Delaware, Blue and the Magical Forest: The Power of Hopes and Dreams

“You can't lie in a magical forest! It will ruin all the magic!”
Michael Delaware, Blue and the Magical Forest: The Power of Hopes and Dreams

“If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.”
Mark Twain

“A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.”
Mark Twain

“In a good bookroom you feel in some mysterious way that you are absorbing the wisdom contained in all the books through your skin, without even opening them.”
Mark Twain

“No horse named Morbid ever won a race.”
Ernest Hemmingway

“We read books to find out who we are. What other people, real or imaginary, do and think and feel... is an essential guide to our understanding of what we ourselves are and may become.”
Ursula K. LeGuin
