Midsummer Night's Dream

• "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind"
• "Swift as a shadow, short as any dream; Brief as the lightning in the collied night."
• "Over hill, over dale, Thorough bush, thorough brier, Over park, over pale, Thorough flood, thorough fire, I do wander everywhere."
• "Are you sure/That we are awake? It seems to me/That yet we sleep, we dream"
• "Thus I die. Thus, thus, thus. Now I am dead, Now I am fled, My soul is in the sky. Tongue, lose thy light. Moon take thy flight. Now die, die, die, die."

The Road

• "People were always getting ready for tomorrow. I didn't believe in that. Tomorrow wasn't getting ready for them. It didn't even know they were there."
• "There is no God and we are his prophets."
• "Query: How does the never to be differ from what never was?"
• "No lists of things to be done. The day providential to itself. The hour. There is no later. This is later. All things of grace and beauty such that one holds them to one's heart have a common provenance in pain. Their birth in grief and ashes."
• "The frailty of everything revealed at last. Old and troubling issues resolved into nothingness and night. The last instance of a thing takes the class with it. Turns out the light and is gone. Look around you. Ever is a long time. But the boy knew what he knew. That ever is no time at all."
• "Perhaps in the world's destruction it would be possible at last to see how it was made. Oceans, mountains. The ponderous counterspectacle of things ceasing to be. The sweeping waste, hydroptic and coldly secular. The silence."

Dumbledore

• "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live."
• "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."
• "It's the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more."
• "Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light."
• "Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?"

To Kill a Mockingbird

• "The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience."
• "I think there's just one kind of folks. Folks."
• "'Atticus, he was real nice.' 'Most people are, Scout, when you finally see them.'"

Alice in Wonderland

• "I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then."
• "Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast."
• "You're mad, bonkers, completely off your head. But I'll tell you a secret. All the best people are."
