I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less
than half of you half as well as you deserve.
                -- J. R. R. Tolkien

I dote on his very absence.
                -- William Shakespeare, "The Merchant of Venice"

I fell asleep reading a dull book, and I dreamt that I was reading on,
so I woke up from sheer boredom.

I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.
                -- Mark Twain

I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a
week sometimes to make it up.

I reverently believe that the maker who made us all  makes everything in New
England, but the weather.  I don't know who makes that, but I think it must be
raw apprentices in the weather-clerks factory who experiment and learn how, in
New England, for board and clothes, and then are promoted to make weather for
countries that require a good article, and will take their custom elsewhere
if they don't get it.
                -- Mark Twain

I think we are in Rats' Alley where the dead men lost their bones.

I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.  I
will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future.  The Spirits of all
Three shall strive within me.  I will not shut out the lessons that they

                -- Charles Dickens

"I wonder", he said to himself, "what's in a book while it's closed.  Oh, I
know it's full of letters printed on paper, but all the same, something must
be happening, because as soon as I open it, there's a whole story with people
I don't know yet and all kinds of adventures and battles."
                -- Bastian B. Bux
