"Our pleasures in this world are always to be paid for." ~ Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen "One half of the world cannot understand the pleasures of the other." ~ Emma by Jane Austen We live in a world of transgressions and selfishness, and no pictures that represent us otherwise can be true, though, happily, for human nature, gleamings of that pure spirit in whose likeness man has been fashioned are to be seen, relieving its deformities, and mitigating if not excusing its crimes. ~ The Deerslayer by James Fenimore Cooper "What you do in this world is a matter of no consequence," returned my companion, bitterly. "The question is, what can you make people believe that you have done." ~ A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle The world is a looking-glass, and gives back to every man the reflection of his own face. Frown at it, and it will in turn look sourly upon you; laugh at it and with it, and it is a jolly kind companion; and so let all young persons take their choice. ~ Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray "There are so many unpleasant things in the world already that there is no use in imagining any more." ~ Anne Of Avonlea by Lucy Maud Montgomery "That is one good thing about this world. . .there are always sure to be more springs." ~ Anne Of Avonlea by Lucy Maud Montgomery "In this world you've just got to hope for the best and prepare for the worst and take whatever God sends." ~ Anne Of Avonlea by Lucy Maud Montgomery "Isn't it splendid to think of all the things there are to find out about? It just makes me feel glad to be alive--it's such an interesting world. It wouldn't be half so interesting if we know all about everything, would it? There'd be no scope for imagination then, would there?" ~ Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery To be vested with enormous authority is a fine thing; but to have the on-looking world consent to it is a finer. ~ A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court by Mark Twain
