E.M. Forster
“This desire to govern a woman—it lies very deep, and men and women must fight it together.... But I do love you surely in a better way than he does." He thought. "Yes—really in a better way. I want you to have your own thoughts even when I hold you in my arms.”
E.M. Forster, A Room with a View

L.M. Montgomery
“Yes, it's beautiful,' said Gilbert, looking steadily down into Anne's uplifted face, 'but wouldn't it have been more beautiful still, Anne, if there had been no separation or misunderstanding . . . if they had come hand in hand all the way through life, with no memories behind them but those which belonged to each other?”
L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea

Philippa Gregory
“This child could not command a pet dove."

Harsh but true, lol!”
Philippa Gregory, The Boleyn Inheritance

Khaled Hosseini
“They tell me I must wade into waters, where I will soon drown. Before I march in, I leave this on the shore for you. I pray you find it, sister, so you will know what was in my heart as I went under.”
Khaled Hosseini, And the Mountains Echoed

C. Toni Graham
“Toni's Talk: When you invest in yourself, you have instant credibility with your biggest critic...you! As soon as you let doubt creep in---you lose that investment. Make a daily commitment to assess your worth with positive affirmations and watch your investment grow.”
C.Toni Graham
