G.K. Chesterton
“In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, "I don't see the use of this; let us clear it away." To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: "If you don't see the use of it, I certainly won't let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.”
G.K. Chesterton, The Thing: Why I am a Catholic

Marcus Tullius Cicero
“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero

Melanie Hudson
“The most beautiful woman in any room is the woman with the most joy in her heart.”
Melanie Hudson, The Last Letter from Juliet

Alan Hlad
“It wasn't a miracle. You believed. And made it happen.”
Alan Hlad, The Long Flight Home

Amy Harmon
“The pain. It's worth it. The more you love, the more it hurts. It's the only thing that is.”
Amy Harmon, Where the Lost Wander
