Diana Wynne Jones
“Being a hero means ignoring how silly you feel.”
Diana Wynne Jones, Fire and Hemlock

Dodie Smith
“Topaz was wonderfully patient - but sometimes I wonder if it is not only patience, but also a faint resemblance to cows.”
Dodie Smith, I Capture the Castle

Megan Whalen Turner
“Sounis had been thinking of Ambiades. "He would have been a better man under different circumstances."
Gen looked at him. "True enough," he said. "But does a good man let his circumstances determine his character?”
Megan Whalen Turner, A Conspiracy of Kings

Sigrid Undset
“I'm not to blame, Ramborg, if a man's heart is created in such a fashion that whatever is inscribed on it when it's young and fresh is carved deeper than all the runes that are later etched.”
Sigrid Undset, Kristin Lavransdatter

Chaim Potok
“I looked at my right hand, the hand with which I painted. There was power in that hand. Power to create and destroy. Power to bring pleasure and pain. Power to amuse and horrify. There was in that hand the demonic and the divine at one and the same time. The demonic and the divine were two aspects of the same force. Creation was demonic and divine. Creativity was demonic and divine. I was demonic and divine.”
Chaim Potok, My Name Is Asher Lev
