“If ever I can buy that one silk dress I know what it is going to be like. Not black or brown or navy blue — sensible, serviceable colours, such as New Moon Murrays always wear — oh, dear, no! It is to be of shot silk, blue in one light, silver in others, like a twilight sky, glimpsed through a frosted windowpane — with a bit of lace-foam here and there, like those little feathers of snow clinging to my windowpane.”
― L.M. Montgomery, The Complete Emily Starr Trilogy: Emily of New Moon / Emily Climbs . Emily's Quest

“There are two passions which have a powerful influence in the affairs of men. These are ambition and avarice; the love of power and the love of money. Separately, each of these has great force in prompting men to action; but, when united in view of the same object, they have in many minds the most violent effects . . . And of what kind are the men that will strive for this profitable preeminence, through all the bustle of cabal, the heat of contention, the infinite mutual abuse of parties, tearing to pieces the best of characters? It will not be the wise and moderate, the lovers of peace and good order, the men fittest for the trust. It will be the bold and the violent, the men of strong passions and indefatigable activity in their selfish pursuits.”
― Walter Isaacson, Benjamin Franklin: An American Life

“I hope one day you’ll know the joy of loving someone as much as I love you”
