There is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved: It is God's finger on man's shoulder.
Charles Morgan
We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all of the power we need inside ourselves already.
J.K. Rowling
Don’t try to make life a mathematics problem with yourself in the center and everything coming out equal. When you’re good, bad things can still happen. And if you’re bad, you can still be lucky.
Barbara Kingsolver
Emotion resulting from a work of art is only of value when it is not obtained by sentimental blackmail.
Jean Cocteau
I can't live without a sense of humor. I need to be laughing and entertained at all times.
Carlos Ponce
Teasing and a sense of humor, if you can develop that in your kids, and if you can exercise it with the kids, just makes for a pleasanter atmosphere.
P. J. O'Rourke
A man can no more diminish God's glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word 'darkness' on the walls of his cell.
C.S. Lewis
I consider myself Istanbul's storyteller. My subject matter is my town. I consider it my job to explore the hidden patterns of my city's clandestine corners, its shady, mysterious places, the things I love.
Orhan Pamuk
God tells me that I need to provide for my family, discipline and teach my children, and love my wife as Christ loves the church. If I don't do that, I'm being unfaithful and sinful.
Kevin DeYoung
If books could have more, give more, be more, show more, they would still need readers who bring to them sound and smell and light and all the rest that can’t be in books. The book needs you.
Gary Paulsen
All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does, and that is his.
Oscar Wilde
Every age has its storytelling form, and video gaming is a huge part of our culture. You can ignore or embrace video games and imbue them with the best artistic quality. People are enthralled with video games in the same way as other people love the cinema or theatre.
