“Scott glanced at his watch but didn't register what it said. The notion of time had become as absurd as the quietly glowing trees.”
― R.D. Ronald, The Elephant Tree

Barbara Sontheimer
“Silently she stared at the splintered pieces and felt the flame in her soul gutter.  The flame she had nurtured since she was a child. The flame that had in it what little sparks of happiness she had ever known as well as all her hopes and dreams for the future.  She had tended it so carefully and for so long, and in one, horrendous, agonizing second, felt it simply... go out.”
― Barbara Sontheimer, Victor's Blessing

Sharon Creech
“chocolate chalk?”
― Sharon Creech, Hate That Cat: A Novel

Jostein Gaarder
“بالنسبة لسقراط من المستحيل أن يكون الإنسان سعيدا اذا تصرف على عكس قناعاته.و الذي يعرف الصواب يفعل الصواب .اذا من هو الإنسان الذي يتمنى أن يكون بائسا؟ و أنت ما رأيك بذلك؟ هل يمكن أن تكوني سعيدة اذا كنت تفعلين دائما ما تشعرين في أعماقك بأنه غير صحيح ؟هناك من يمضون أوقاتهم في السرقة و الكذب و النميمة و الافتراء على الآخرين.ألا تعتقدين انهم لا يعرفون في أعماقهم ان هذا سيء أو أنه غير مبرر عل الأقل أتعتقدين أن هذا يجعلهم سعداء ؟سقراط لم يكن يعتقد ذلك”
― جوستاين غاردر, Sophie’s World

Merlin Franco
“Let your ego go . . . This is how the world is. Everyone chases love, but very few recognize it. Because to love unconditionally is the toughest task on earth. Learn to accept it.”
― Merlin Franco, Saint Richard Parker
