“Whereever you are, yo ushould always be contented, but especially at home, because there you must spend the most of your time.” – Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen, p. 294
“It was one of the biggest scandals of Life, to learn that the cruelest thing someone could say to you was that you were a terrible kisser.” – Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessl, p. 426
“When God saves his people, bringing us from death to life, he opens our eyes to love and appreciate the supreme treasure that is Jesus Christ.” – The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment by Tim Challies, p. 31
“Arraigned at my own bar, Memory having given her evidence of the hopes, wishes, sentiments I had ben cherishing since last night–of the general state of mind in which I had indulged for nearly a fortnight past; Reason having come forward and told in her own quiet way a plain, unvarnished tale, showing how I had rejected the real, and rabidly devoured the ideal–I pronounced judgment to this effect:–That a greater fool than Jane Eyre had never breathed the breath of life: that a more fantastic idiot had never surfeited herself on sweet lies, and swallowed poison as if it were nectar.” – Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte, p. 169

Jennifer: Thanks…and that’s true. I’ll be blogging until I croak. (I’m a good speller, really, but I couldn’t for the life of me remember how that’s spelled…or how to look it up! Took me a couple of minutes…)
