Jane Austen
“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.”
― Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey

Raymond Carver
“Late Fragment

And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.”
― Raymond Carver, A New Path to the Waterfall

― Elisabeth Elliot

A.W. Tozer
“It is doubtful whether God can bless a man greatly until He has hurt him deeply.”
― A.W. Tozer

Jonathan Edwards
“Resolved, that I will live so, as I shall wish I had done when I come to die.”
― Jonathan Edwards
