Popular quotes

“Someday, somehow, I would repay my cousin Rachel.”
― Daphne du Maurier, quote from My Cousin Rachel

“To exist in this vast universe for a speck of time is the great gift of life. Our tiny sliver of time is our gift of life. It is our only life. The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us. Life is the gift each of us has been given. Each life is our own and no one else's. It is precious beyond all counting. It is the greatest value we can have. Cherish it for what it truly is.”
― Terry Goodkind, quote from Confessor

They are," said Elnora. "Most I have I took there. A few nights ago my mother caught a good many, but we don't dare go alone"
