I have a bad habit of living in other people's words. Hopefully I'll come up with some good ones of my own some day, but until then, here's a few of my favorites:

| But of bliss and glad life there is little to be said, before it ends; as works fair and wonderful, while still they endure for eyes to see, are there own record, and only when they are in peril or broken forever do they pass into song." | J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Silmarillion" |
| Alas for us all! And for all that walk the world in these after-days. For such is the way of it: to find and lose, as it seems to those whose boat is on the running stream." | J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Lord of the Rings" |
| And books, they offer one hope--that a whole universe might open up from between the covers, and falling into that new universe, one is saved. | Anne Rice, "Blackwood Farm" |
| It's an awful truth that suffering can deepen us, give a greater luster to our colors, a richer resonance to our words. That is, if it doesn't destroy us, if it doesn't burn away the optimism and the spirit, the capacity for visions, and the respect for simple yet indispensable things. | Anne Rice, "The Queen of the Damned." |
| And my dark soul is happy once again, because it does not know how to be anything else for very long, and because the pain is a deep dark sea in which I would drown if I did not sail my little craft steadily over the surface, steadily towards a sun which will never rise. | Anne Rice, "The Tale of the Body Thief" |
