Peter S. Beagle
“I did not know that I was so empty, to be so full.”
Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn

Terry Pratchett
“Sometimes I think a man could wander across the disc all his life and not see everything there is to see,' said Twoflower. 'And now it seems there are lots of other worlds as well. When I think I might die without seeing a hundredth of all there is to see it makes me feel,' he paused, then added, 'well, humble, I suppose. And very angry, of course.”
Terry Pratchett, The Color of Magic

“God doesn't love me because of what I can do for him. He just loves me - even when I've done nothing at all.”
Phil Vischer, Me, Myself & Bob: A True Story About God, Dreams, and Talking Vegetables

George MacDonald
“As in all sweetest music, a tinge of sadness was in every note. Nor do we know how much of the pleasures even of life we owe to the intermingled sorrows. Joy cannot unfold the deepest truths, although deepest truth must be deepest joy. Cometh white-robed Sorrow, stooping and wan, and flingeth wide the doors she may not enter. Almost we linger with Sorrow for very love.”
George MacDonald, Phantastes

Peter S. Beagle
“My people are in the world again. No sorrow will live in me as long as that joy‌—‌save one, and I thank you for that, too.”
Peter S. Beagle, The Last Unicorn
