Harlen Coben - No Second Chance
'Lenny the head coach was yelling out key, game-winning strategy to our players. When we are on offense, he tells them to 'Score!'. When we are on defense, he advises us to 'Stop him!' And then sometimes like right now, he offers keen insight into the subtleties of the game: 'Kick the ball! ' '

Cornelia Funke - Inkdeath
Names were incised on some of them, scrathed clumsily as if whoever wrote them had learned the letters only to preserve the sound of a beloved name, rescuing it from the silence of death.

Piper, beware, your end is near,
The Adder's power dwindles.
He writhes, he goes in mortal fear,
Nothing his strength rekindles.

No sword can wound him, no hound run him down,
And when you think you'll succeed in your quest,
You find that the bird has flown the nest.

Odyssey of Homer
As a woman weeps, lying over the body of her dear husband, who fell fighting for her city and people as he tried to beat off the pitiless day from city and children; she sees him dying and gasping for breath, and winding her body about him she cries high and shrill, while the men behind her, hitting her with their spear butts on the back and shoulders, force her up and lead her away into slavery, to have hard work and sorrow, and her cheeks are wracked with pitiful weeping.

"You think it's funny" the boy scowled."Don't you care? You should hate it - being so wrinkly, walking so slowly, none of your finger straight. No one looks at you anymore, all your colours have gone. Doesn't that make you angry? Doesn't it make you sad? Isn't it horrible being old?"

Lord of the Rings - Two Towers
The fires of Isengard will spread, and the forests of Tuckborough and Buckland will burn. And all that was once great and good in this world will be gone. There won't *be* a Shire, Pippin.

Merry: It's been going for hours.
Pippin: They must have decided something by now.
Treebeard: Decided? No, we have just finished saying "Good Morning".
Merry: But it's night time already! You can't take forever!
Treebeard: Now, don't be hasty, master Merriadoc.
Merry: We're running out of time!

So fair, yet so cold like a morning of pale Spring still clinging to Winter's chill.

This new Gandalf is more grumpy than the old one.

One day your prince will come, mine just took a wrong turn, got lost, and is too stubborn to ask for directions.

Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death

The Sorceress - Michael Scott
“Because someone has to remember,” Gilgamesh snapped, suddenly irritated. “Someone has to remember the human who rode the bike and drove the tractor, the person who tilled the fields, who was born and lived and died, who loved and laughed and cried. The person who shivered in the cold and sweated in the sun” He walked around the barn again, touching each item, until his palms were red with rust. “It is only when no one remembers that you are truly lost. That is the true death.”
