Quote by Kelly Barnhill

“Books are funny things. The ideas and knowledge contained inside their pages have mass and velocity and gravity. They bend both space and time. They have minds of their own. There is a power in a book that surpasses even that of a dragon.”

“દરેક વખતે આપણે મૂવ-ઓન નથી થતાં. ક્યારેક ટ્રાન્સફોર્મ થઈએ છીએ. ઘટનાસ્થળથી દૂર જવાને બદલે, આપણી એ જાતથી દૂર ચાલ્યા જઈએ છીએ જેણે દુર્ઘટના સર્જેલી. કેટલાક લોકો મૂવ-ઓન કર્યા પછી પણ બદલાતા નથી અને કેટલાકને મૂવ-ઓન કરવા માટે બદલાવું છે. માત્ર સમય નહીં, વ્યક્તિ પણ બદલાય, ત્યારે હાર્ટ-બ્રેક થયું સાર્થક કહેવાય.”

“When I hear the hypercritical quarrelling about grammar and style, the position of the particles, etc., etc., stretching or contracting every speaker to certain rules of theirs,—Mr. Webster, perhaps, not having spoken according to Mr. Kirkham’s rule,—I see that they forget that the first requisite and rule is that expression shall be vital and natural, as much as the voice of a brute or an interjection: first of all, mother tongue; and last of all, artificial or father tongue. Essentially your truest poetic sentence is as free and lawless as a lamb’s bleat.”

“You can’t read any genuine history—as that of Herodotus or the Venerable Bede—without perceiving that our interest depends not on the subject but on the man,—on the manner in which he treats the subject and the importance he gives it. A feeble writer and without genius must have what he thinks a great theme, which we are already interested in through the accounts of others, but a genius—a Shakespeare, for instance—would make the history of his parish more interesting than another’s history of the world.”
