J.K. Rowling
“Really Hagrid, if you are holding out for universal popularity, I'm afraid you will be in this cabin for a very long time”
J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Gary D. Schmidt
“The world turns and the world spins, the tide runs in and the tide runs out, and there is nothing in the world more beautiful and more wonderful in all its evolved forms than two souls who look at each other straight on. And there is nothing more woeful and soul-saddening than when they are parted...everything in the world rejoices in the touch, and everything in the world laments in the losing.”
Gary D. Schmidt, Lizzie Bright and the Buckminster Boy

M.L. Stedman
“We live with the decisions we make, Bill. That’s what bravery is. Standing by the consequences of your mistakes.”
M.L. Stedman, The Light Between Oceans

Gary D. Schmidt
“When you find something that’s whole, you do what you can to keep it that way. And when you find something that isn’t, then maybe it’s not a bad idea to try to make it whole again. Maybe.”
Gary D. Schmidt, Okay for Now

Marilynne Robinson
“There are two occasions when the sacred beauty of Creation becomes dazzlingly apparent, and they occur together. One is when we feel our mortal insufficiency to the world, and the other is when we feel the world's mortal insufficiency to us.”
Marilynne Robinson, Gilead
