Pippin Took, the Shire Hobbit

“Women, they have minds, and they have souls, as well as just hearts. And they’ve got ambition, and they’ve got talent, as well as just beauty. I’m so sick of people saying that love is all a woman is fit for.”
― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

“What is it? What are we failing to understand here, Winslow? What’s so tough about pulling off this hippo caper?”
“It’s not a caper; It’s an operation.”
― Sarah Gailey, American Hippo

“As a heartless killing machine, I was a terrible failure.”
― Martha Wells, All Systems Red

“There are demons within us all that we must face. They only ever surface when we are at our lowest because they are not strong enough to challenge us at our highest.”
― Ryan Cahill, Of Darkness and Light
