“You would not have called to me unless I had been calling to you”
― C.S. Lewis

“Some people, when they have taken too much and have been driven beyond the point of endurance, simply crumple and give up. There are others, though they are not many, who will for some reason always be unconquerable. You meet them in time of war and time of peace. They have an indomitable spirit and nothing, neither pain nor torture nor threat of death, will cause them to give up.”
― Roald Dahl, The Swan

“You think my lady was off her head because she found time, in the middle of all her own troubles, to think about an old chap who had worked for her for sixty years. That shows how little you know. There’s still room for a bit of kindness in the world, and the next time you feel like taking a short cut across people’s feelings when you want you get somewhere in a hurry, you might bear that in mind.”
― Reginald Arkell, Old Herbaceous
