“All men have heard of the Mormon Bible, but few except the "elect" have seen it, or, at least, taken the trouble to read it. I brought away a copy from Salt Lake. The book is a curiosity to me, it is such a pretentious affair, and yet so "slow," so sleepy; such an insipid mess of inspiration. It is chloroform in print. If Joseph Smith composed this book, the act was a miracle — keeping awake while he did it was, at any rate.”
― Mark Twain

“Sometimes you must lose everything to gain it again, and the regaining is the sweeter for the pain of loss.”
― Cassandra Clare, City of Heavenly Fire

“I may have lost my heart, but not my self-control. ”
― Jane Austen, Emma
