Page 85 - Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They come through you but not from you. And though they are with you yet they belong not to you. You may give them your love but not your thoughts, For they have their own thoughts.

As we returned to the house every object which I touched seemed to quiver with life. That was because I saw everything with the strange, new sight that had come to...
Page 41 - Ah, well! It means much the same thing,' said the Duchess, digging her sharp little chin into Alice's shoulder as she added, 'and the moral of THAT is — "Take care of the sense, and the sounds will take care of themselves.
Page 23 - But what a humiliation for me when someone standing next to me heard a flute in the distance and / heard nothing, or someone heard a shepherd singing and again I heard nothing. Such incidents drove me almost to despair; a little more of that and I would have ended my life - it was only my art that held me back. Ah, it seemed to me impossible to leave the world until I had...
Page 59 - By Myself I swear, the Lord declares: Because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your favored one, 171 will bestow my blessing upon you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars of heaven and the sands on the seashore; and your descendants shall seize the gates of their foes. 18 All the nations of the earth shall bless themselves by your descendants, because you have obeyed My command.
Page 23 - I heard nothing, or heard the Shepherd sing,* and I heard nothing. Such occurrences brought me near to despair; little was wanting that I should, myself, put an end to my life.
