Quotes

"If you can sit in silence for half and hour with anyone and feel comfortable then you can be friends. If not friends you'll never be, and you needn't waste time trying." --L.M. Montgomery

"To do the will of God is the only way to improve oneself." --George MacDonald

"The chief purpose in life is to increase, according to our capacity, our knowledge of God, by all the means we have, and to be moved by it to praise and thanks." --J.R.R Tolkien

"In literature and art, no man who worries about originality will ever be original.. Whereas if you simply tell the truth (without caring twopence it its been told before), you will, nine times out of ten, become original without having noticed it." --C.S. Lewis

"I'm going to keep on believing in fairy rings and horseshoes over the door and witches on broomsticks. It makes life so thrilling to believe things. If you believe in a thing it doesn't matter whether it exists or not." --L.M. Montgomery (Pat of Silver Bush)
