Rachel Carson
“There is symbolic as well as actual beauty in the migration of the birds, the ebb and flow of the tides, the folded bud ready for the spring. There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature - the assurance that dawn comes after night, and spring after the winter.”
Rachel Carson, The Sense of Wonder

Ken Follett
“Just because someone asks you a question, don't you think you have to answer.”
Ken Follett, Edge of Eternity

Harold Bloom
“Who anyway can define the borderline between gnosis and poetic knowledge? The two modes are not identical, and yet they interpenetrate one another. Are we to call the gnosis of Novalis, Blake, and Shelley a knowledge that is not poetic? In domesticating the Sufis in our imagination, Corbin renders Ibn 1 Arabi and Suhrawardi as a Blakl· and a Shelley whose precursor is not Milton but the Koran.”
Harold Bloom

Peggy Parish
“The door opened.
"We're here," said Mrs. Rogers.
Aunt Myra came in.
"Now!" said Amelia Bedelia.
"Greetings, greetings, greetings,"
said the three children.
"What's that about?" said Mrs. Rogers.
"You said to greet Aunt Myra with Carols," said Amelia Bedelia.
"Here's Carol Lee, Carol Green, and Carol Lake."
"What lovely Carols," said Aunt Myra.
"Thank you.”
Peggy Parish, Merry Christmas, Amelia Bedelia

Judith Viorst
“Some days are like that. Even in Australia.”
Judith Viorst, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day
