And I Quote...

I'm constantly dog-ear-ing pages of books because of a line that has the potential to be a wonderful quote. We need a place to share the quotes. Feel free to contribute a great line (or couple of sentences). Any genre, any age, anything G-rated. C'mon there are plenty with that restriction.

    Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury

    "What tongue does the wind talk? What nationality is a storm? What country do rains come from? What color is lightning? Where does thunder go when it dies? "

    "The library deeps lay waiting for them. Out in the world, not much happened. But here in the special night, a land bricked with paper and leather, anything might happen, always did."

    "Since when did you think being good meant being happy...Sometimes the man who looks happiest in town, with the biggest smile, is the one carrying the biggest load of sin. There are smiles and smiles; learn to tell the dark variety from the light."

    "Death doesn’t exist. It never did, it never will. But we’ve drawn so many pictures of it, so many years, trying to pin it down, comprehend it, we’ve got to thinking of it as an entity, strangely alive and greedy. All it is, however, is a stopped watch, a loss, an end, a darkness. Nothing."

    "Sometimes good has weapons and evil none."

    "Good to evil seems evil. "

    I second the thanks. Great book that I read years ago. My favorite quote from the ones you selected:

    "Good to evil seems evil. "

    So true and simply put.

    That second quote is the best one I've seen about libraries. Definitely going on my (burgeoning) TBR list. Thanks!
