Sweet Quotes

They stood and listened, arms around each other for comfort, as the sound washed over them.

With all it revealed, and all that it hid.
Charles de Lint

When I enter a library, when I enter the world of books, I feel the ghosts of the past on my shoulders urging me to speech.

I hear Sojourner Truth tell me that the hand that rocks the cradle can also rock the boat, and William Lloyd Garrison say, 'I am in earnest, I will not be silenced.'

I'm really conscious of the amount of food I eat, but I don't deny myself anything. For example, I have a really big sweet tooth. At the end of the night, if I'm craving ice cream, I might not have the bowl that I would have when I was a kid, but I'll put a couple of scoops in a coffee mug, and I'll eat it slowly, and I enjoy every moment of it.
