Elizabeth George Speare
“That lame man you saw-- is he grateful now? Is it worth it to get on his feet and spend the rest of his life dragging burdens like a mule? . . . It's not much of a world, is it? Is it worth trying to bring Leah back into it?"

Thacia stood still in the road. "Oh, Daniel-- yes! If only I could make you see, somehow, that it is!"

"All this--" she exclaimed, the sweep of her arm including the deepening blue of the sky, the shining lake in the distance, the snow-covered mountain far to the north. "So much! You must look at it all, Daniel, not just at the unhappy things.”
Elizabeth George Speare, The Bronze Bow

Nathaniel Hawthorne, The House of the Seven Gables
