“It is not my fault that I cannot eat or rest . . . I’ll do both, as soon as I possibly can. But you might as well bid a man struggling in the water rest within arms’ length of the shore! I must reach it first, and then I’ll rest . . . I’ve done no injustice, and I repent nothing. I’m too happy; and yet I’m not happy enough. My soul’s bliss kills my body, but does not satisfy itself.”
― Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights

“Come, Mr. Frodo!' he cried. 'I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you.”

“The pen is mightier than the sword! In human affairs, the truth is hard to find, which is why that expression is true. We couldn't topple [the late] Rudolf the Great wit ha sword, but we can expose his crimes against human society. That is the power of the pen. The pen can impeach the dictator of a hundred years ago or the tyrant of a thousand years ago.”
― Yoshiki Tanaka

“There is one rule, above all others, for being a man. Whatever comes, face it on your feet.”
― Robert Jordan, The Great Hunt
