Janni's favorite quotes

"There's lots of kinds of chains. You can't see most of them, the one's that bind folks together. But people build them, link by link. Sometimes the links are weak, snap like this one did. That's another funny thing, now that I think of it. Sometimes when you mend a chain, the place where you fix it is strongest of all."
— Bruce Coville (Into the Land of the Unicorns)

"'So he decided he would never listen to anybody he knew? That's just like someone in a fairy tale.'

'Knowing he had given his trust amiss, how could he bestow it again?'

'That's foolish. Did he expect never to make any mistakes?'"
— Pamela Dean (The Whim of the Dragon)

"So the Dark did a simple thing. They showed the maker of the sword his own uncertainty and fear. Fear of having done the wrong thing--fear that having done this one great thing, he would never again be able to accomplsih anything of great worth--fear of age, of insufficiency, of unmet promise. All such great fears, that are the doom of people given the gift of making, and lie always somewhere in their minds."
— Susan Cooper (Silver On The Tree)

"I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend: the city of the men of Númenor; and I would have her loved for her memory, her ancientry, her beauty, and her present wisdom. Not feared, save as men may fear the dignity of a man, old and wise."
— J.R.R. Tolkien (The Two Towers)

""If I hadn't learned my lesson, I would have wished we could stay there forever. But I knew better now. We'd seen what we'd come to see. The way to trick death. Breathe in. Breathe out. Watch as it all rises upwards, black and blue into the even bluer sky.""
— Alice Hoffman (The Ice Queen)
