J. R. R. Tolkien
“I wish it need not have happened in my time,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
―J.R.R. Tolkien (b. Jan. 3, 1892 – d. Sept. 2, 1973), The Fellowship of the Ring
Joyce Carol Oates
“It’s where we go, and what we do when we get there, that tells us who we really are.”
~ Joyce Carol Oates (b. June 16, 1938)
Joan Didion
“Do not whine… Do not complain. Work harder. Spend more time alone.”
Joan Didion (b. December 5, 1934 – d. December 23, 2021)
Halloween
“Halloween shadows played upon the walls of the houses. In the sky the Halloween moon raced in and out of the clouds. The Halloween wind was blowing, not a blasting of wind but a right-sized swelling, falling, and gushing of wind. It was a lovely and exciting night, exactly the kind of night Halloween should be.”
~ Eleanor Estes, American children’s author (b. May 9, 1906 – d. July 15, 1988)
Do what you feel in your heart…
“Do what you feel in your heart to be right — for you’ll be criticized anyway. You’ll be damned if you do, and damned if you don’t.”
Eleanor Roosevelt (b. October 11, 1884 – d. November 7, 1962)
September
“September was a thirty-days long goodbye to summer, to the season that left everybody both happy and weary of the warm, humid weather and the exhausting but thrilling adventures.”
