“If only I could be here alone, without Judith or anyone, she thought with longing. Someday I am going to come back to this place, when there is time just to stand still and look at it. How often she would come back she had no way of foreseeing, nor could she know that never, in the months to come, would the Meadows break the promise they held for her at this moment, a promise of peace and quietness and of comfort for a troubled heart.”
― Elizabeth George Speare, The Witch of Blackbird Pond

“always busy because of interesting books”

“Humans knew a long time ago that everything was connected. They also knew that plants and animals communicate with each other….”
― Ellen J. Lewinberg, Joey and His Friend Water

“Viața însăși îndreaptă spre om o față goală, nepăsătoare, descurajantă, pe care nu se citește nimic, ca și pe pânza asta goală. Dar omul nu se sperie de acest gol, pășește plin de încredere și de curaj, se zbate, clădește, creează, și până la urmă, pânza nu va mai rămâne goală, ci se acoperă cu formele bogate ale vieții.”
― Irving Stone, The Agony and the Ecstasy
