J.R.R. Tolkien
“It was at this point that Bilbo stopped. Going on from there was the bravest thing he ever did. The tremendous things that happened afterward were as nothing compared to it. He fought the real battle in the tunnel alone, before he ever saw the vast danger that lay in wait.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit, or There and Back Again

Randy Shilts
“Prejudice makes prisoners of both the hated and the hater.”
Randy Shilts, And the Band Played On: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic

Oscar Wilde
“You, who know all the secrets of life, tell me how to charm Sibyl Vane to love me! I want to make Romeo jealous, I want the dead lovers of the world to hear our laughter, and grow sad. I want a breath of our passion to stir their dust into consciousness, to wake their ashes into pain. My God, Harry, how I worship her!”
Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray

L.M. Montgomery
“Mrs Lynde was complaining the other day that it wasn’t much of a world. She said whenever you looked forward to anything pleasant you were sure to be more or less disappointed… that nothing ever came up to your expectations. Well, perhaps that is true. But there is a good side to it too. The bad things don’t always come up to your expectations either… they nearly always turn out ever so much better than you think.”
L.M. Montgomery , Anne of Avonlea

Trevor Noah
“Comfort can be dangerous. Comfort provides a floor but also a ceiling.”
Trevor Noah, Born a Crime: Stories from a South African Childhood
