Wendell Berry
“If love could force my own thoughts over the edge of the world and out of time, then could I not see how even divine omnipotence might by the force of its own love be swayed down to the world? ...how it might, because it could know its own creatures only by compassion, put on mortal flesh, become a man, and walk among us, assume our nature and our fate, suffer our faults and our death?”
Wendell Berry, Jayber Crow

J.M. Barrie
“If you cannot teach me to fly, teach me to sing.”
Sir James Barrie, Peter Pan

Elizabeth Gilbert
“I've come to believe that there exists in the universe something I call "The Physics of The Quest" — a force of nature governed by laws as real as the laws of gravity or momentum. And the rule of Quest Physics maybe goes like this: "If you are brave enough to leave behind everything familiar and comforting (which can be anything from your house to your bitter old resentments) and set out on a truth-seeking journey (either externally or internally), and if you are truly willing to regard everything that happens to you on that journey as a clue, and if you accept everyone you meet along the way as a teacher, and if you are prepared – most of all – to face (and forgive) some very difficult realities about yourself... then truth will not be withheld from you." Or so I've come to believe.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

Elizabeth Gilbert
“I crossed the street to walk in the sunshine.”
Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

Nicholas Sparks
“I fell in love with her when we were together, then fell deeper in love with her in the years we were apart.”
