A Collection of Quotes Part I
The title is rather self explanatory :)Below are a few random, thought-provoking quotes that I've highlighted in my reading.
One of my pet peeves is when quotes are taken out of context (especially online) or attributed to the author instead of their character, but I also understand the power of brevity.
Isn't it amazing how so much can be said with so few words?!
"The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved - loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves." - Les Miserables, Victor Hugo
"Procrastination is the thief of time, collar him." David Copperfield, Charles Dickens.
"A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell." - The Problem of Pain, C. S. Lewis
"Earth's crammed with heaven,
And every common bush afire with God,
But only he who sees takes off his shoes;
The rest sit round and pluck blackberries."
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning
"It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." - Dumblerdore in Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone, J. K. Rowling
