  1. Madeleine L'Engle _ A Circle of Quiet

    Like it or not, we either add to the darkness of indifference and out-and-out evil which surround us or we light a candle to see by.We can surely no longer pretend that our children are growing up into a peaceful, secure, and civilized world. We've come to the point where it's irresponsible to try to protect them from the irrational world they will have to live in when they grow up.... Our responsibility to them is not to pretend that if we don't look, evil will go away, but to give them weapons against it.

  2. Henry James _ The Jolly Corner

    He was a dim secondary social success -- and all with people who had truly not an idea of him.

  3. Henry Miller _ Tropic of Capricorn

    I wanted to feel the blood running back into my veins, even at the cost of annihilation. I wanted to shake the stone and light out of my system. I wanted the dark fecundity of nature, the deep well of the womb, silence, or else the lapping of the black waters of death. I wanted to be that night which the remorseless eye illuminated, a night diapered with stars and trailing comets. To be of night so frighteningly silent, so utterly incomprehensible and eloquent at the same time. Never more to speak or to listen or to think."

  7. Mark Z. Danielewski _ House of Leaves

    Your eye will no longer linger on the light, it will no longer trace constellations. You'll care only about the darkness and you'll watch it for hours, for days, maybe even for years, trying in vain to believe you're some kind of indispensable, universe-appointed sentinel, as if just by looking you could actually keep it all at bay.

  9. Kate DiCamillo _ The Tale of Despereaux

    The April sun, weak but determined, shone through a castle window and from there squeezed itself through a small hole in the wall and placed one golden finger on the little mouse.

  10. Kate DiCamillo _ The Tale of Despereaux

    the story is not a pretty one. there is violence in it. And cruelty. But stories that are not pretty have a certain value, too, I suppose.
