Book Quotes

Here is where I share some of my favorite quotes from books I've read.  I'm always open to book suggestions.

"I am not an angel, and will not be one till I die... you must neither expect nor exact anything celestial of me - for you will not get it."
-Jane Eyre

"That bitter hour cannot be described: in truth, the waters came into my soul; I sank deep in mire; I felt no standing; I came into deep waters; the floods overflowed me."
-Jane Eyre 

"Open your eyes and see what you can with them before they close forever."
-All The Light We Cannot See

"... isn't life a kind of corruption?  A child is born, and the world sets in upon it.  Taking things from it, stuffing things into it.  Each bite of food, each particle of light entering the eye - the body can never be pure."
- All The Light We Cannot See

"The hand of night was held out to her and Ursula rose to meet it.  She was relieved, almost glad.  She could feel the shining, luminous world beyond calling, the place where all the mysteries would be revealed.  The darkness enveloped her like a velvet friend."
-Life After Life

"All that is necessary for the forces of evil to win in the world is for enough good women to do nothing."
- Life After Life
