The fey wonders of the world only exist while there are those with the sight to see them.

I am in favor of animal rights as well as human rights. That is the way of a whole human being.

When you reach the end of your rope$$$ tie a knot and hang on.

I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth and be an atheist$$$ but I cannot conceive how a man could look up into the heavens and say there is no God.

Writing$$$ the art of communicating thoughts to the mind through the eye$$$ is the great invention of the world...enabling us to converse with the dead$$$ the absent$$$ and the unborn$$$ at all distances of time and space.

I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.

You cannot help people permanently by doing for them$$$ what they could and should do for themselves.

We're so quick to cut away pieces of ourselves to suit a particular relationship$$$ a job$$$ a circle of friends$$$ incessantly editing who we are until we fit in.

That's the thing about magic; you've got to know it's still here$$$ all around us$$$ or it just stays invisible for you.

I have always thought that all men should be free; but if any should be slaves$$$ it should be first those who desire for themselves$$$ and secondly those who desire it for others. Whenever I hear anyone arguing for slavery$$$ I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.
