Julian Barnes
“What you end up remembering isn't always the same as what you have witnessed.”
Julian Barnes, The Sense of an Ending

Homer
“Be strong, saith my heart; I am a soldier;
I have seen worse sights than this.”
Homer, The Odyssey

Madeleine L'Engle
“Calvin said, "Do you know that this is the first time I've seen you without your glasses?"

"I'm blind as a bat without them. I'm near-sighted, like father."

"Well, you know what, you've got dream-boat eyes," Calvin said. "Listen, you go right on wearing your glasses. I don't think I want anybody else to see what gorgeous eyes you have.”
Madeleine L'Engle, A Wrinkle in Time

James Thurber
“Beautiful things don't ask for attention.”
James Thurber, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

“Understand this: we are both tiny and massive. We are nothing more than molded clay given breath, but we are nothing less than divine self-portraits, huffing and puffing along mountain ranges of epic narrative arcs prepared for us by the Infinite Word Himself. Swell with pride and gratitude, for you are tiny and given much. You are as spoken by God as the stars.”
Thomas Nelson, Death by Living: Life Is Meant to Be Spent
