  1. Paulo Coelho _ By the River Piedra I Sat Down

    The day drags along, you make thousands of plans, you imagine every possible conversation, you promise to change your behavior in certain ways–and you feel more and more anxious until your loved one arrives. But by then, you don't know what to say. The hours of waiting have been transformed into tension, the tension has become fear, and the fear makes you embarrassed about showing affection.

  3. Ann Patchett _ Truth and Beauty

    Whenever I saw her, I felt like I had been living in another country, doing moderately well in another language, and then she showed up speaking English and suddenly I could speak with all the complexity and nuance that I hadn't realized was gone. With Lucy I was a native speaker.

  5. J.R.R. Tolkien _ The Hobbit or There and Back

    Good Morning!" said Bilbo, and he meant it. The sun was shining, and the grass was very green. But Gandalf looked at him from under long bushy eyebrows that stuck out further than the brim of his shady hat."What do you mean?" he said. "Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?""All of them at once," said Bilbo. "And a very fine morning for a pipe of tobacco out of doors, into the bargain...."Good morning!" he said at last. "We don't want any adventures here, thank you! You might try over The Hill or across The Water." By this he meant that the conversation was at an end."What a lot of things you do use Good morning for!" said Gandalf.

  7. Terry Tempest Williams _ Leap

    The middle path makes me wary. . . . But in the middle of my life, I am coming to see the middle path as a walk with wisdom where conversations of complexity can be found, that the middle path is the path of movement. . . .

Creativity is lost in our inability to make love with the world.

Mandy asked."No, what in the name of god are you on about?" her mom sighed in exasperation."Remember? Only I could see him, but he was real and he was my best friend when I was eighteen?" Mandy insisted."No, I don't remember Alecto Sydney Steele at all," said her mom all too quickly.

  11. Simone Elkeles _ Rules of Attraction

    That's not the only reason I'm stayin', chica. I can't leave you any more than I could walk out that door right now while my leg is busted up. I was just thinkin' . . . should we tell your parents now or later?" "Tell them what?" I ask, eyes wide.
