“There are those hearts, reader, that never mend again once they are broken. Or if they do mend, they heal themselves in a crooked and lopsided way, as if sewn together by a careless craftsman. Such was the fate of Chiaroscuro. His heart was broken. Picking up the spoon and placing it on his head, speaking of revenge, these things helped him to put his heart together again. But it was, alas, put together wrong.”
― Kate DiCamillo, The Tale of Despereaux

“Our doubts are traitors,
and make us lose the good we oft might win,
by fearing to attempt.”

“If you look the right way, you can see that the whole world is a garden.”

“Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.”
