1 " The vain woman spent fortunes seeking out astrologers, sorcerers, and magicians who would concoct spells and potions to preserve her beauty and help her remain looking young--but envy is hard to cover. "
― Camron Wright , Serann and the Prince of Angkor: A Cambodian Cinderella Story
2 " But literature is unique. To understand literature, you read it with your head, but you interpret it with your heart. The two are forced to work together-and, quite frankly, they often don't get along. "
― Camron Wright , The Rent Collector
3 " Sang Ly, we are literature-our lives, our hopes, our desires, our despairs, our passions, our strengths, our weaknesses. Stories express our longing not only to make a difference today but to see what is possible for tomorrow. Literature has been called a handbook for the art of being human. "
4 " Literature is a cake with many toys baked inside-and even if you find them all, if you don't enjoy the path that leads you to them, it will be a hollow accomplishment. There was a playwright named Heller, American, I believe, who summed it up this way. He said, 'They knew everything about literature except how to enjoy it. "
5 " It's dangerous because my thoughts get away from themselves. Mixed with emotion, they pile up like the garbage that surrounds me. They stack layer upon layer, deeper and deeper, month after month- crushing, festering, smoldering. One day something is certain to combust. "
6 " All good stories - stories that touch your soul, stories that change your nature, stories that cause you to become a better person from their telling - these stories always contain truth. "
7 " I distance myself from heaven and then complain that heaven is distant. "
8 " Peace is a product of both patience and persistence. "
9 " Words provide a voice to our deepest feelings. I tell you, words have started and stopped wars. Words have built and lost fortunes. Words have saved and taken lives. Words have won and lost great kingdoms. Even Buddha said, 'Whatever words we utter should be chosen with care, for people will hear them and be influenced by them for good or ill. "
10 " Crafting a plan is easy. Taking action will always prove to be the more difficult path. "
11 " Worry in the dark can make it even darker. "
12 " I have been quiet today because fear in my heart has been fighting with frustration in my brain, leaving little energy for my mouth. "
13 " Of all the stories I have read about heroes, and all that I could ever read, of one thing I'm certain-he is mine. "
14 " The most difficult battles in life are those we fight within. - Old Chinese Proverb "
15 " Just as ants do when their nest is disturbed, we return, survey the damage, and then without hesitation immediately get to work rebuilding. "
16 " I tell Ki that I'm learning about words and stories to help our family. He says he's protecting our family with his knife. Who is right? Which is best, protecting with words or with his knife?" She is instant, certain, and solemn, and there is no misunderstanding her meaning. "Fight ignorance with words. Fight evil with your knife. Tell you husband, Ki, that he is right. "
17 " Las personas cultas -decían los nuevos líderes- son un lastre para los trabajadores. Las ciudades encarnan el mal. La cultura y la educación son inútiles y egoístas. El dinero y el comercio están corruptos. La fuerza de un país es el hombre trabajador, no los parásitos que viven de él. ¡Plantad arroz para que el país prospere! (...)Aquello era un holocausto. No solo de la vida, sino también del sentido común y de la razón. "
18 " Love ForeverIf I were the trees ...I would turn my leaves to gold and scatter them toward the sky so they would circle about your head and fall in piles at your feet...so you might know wonder.If I were the mountains ...I would crumble down and lift you up so you could see all of my secret places, where the rivers flow and the animals run wild ...so you might know freedom.If I were the ocean ...I would raise you onto my gentle waves and carry you across the seas to swim with the whales and the dolphins in the moonlit waters,so you might know peace.If I were the stars ...I would sparkle like never before and fall from the sky as gentle rain,so that you would always look towards heaven and know that you can reach the stars.If I were the moon ...I would scoop you up and sail you through the sky and show you the Earth below in all its wonder and beauty, so you might know that all the Earth is at your command.If I were the sun ...I would warm and glow like never before and light the sky with orange and pink,so you would gaze upward and always know the glory of heaven.But I am me ...and since I am the one who loves you, I will wrap you in my arms and kiss you and love you with all of my heart,and this I will do until ...the mountains crumble down ...and the oceans dry up ...and the stars fall from the sky ...and the sun and moon burn out ...And that is forever. "
19 " Literature has the power to change lives, minds, and hearts. "
20 " Sometimes broken things deserve to be repaired. "
