1 " An acquaintance merely enjoys your company, a fair-weather companion flatters when all is well, a true friend has your best interests at heart and the pluck to tell you what you need to hear. "
― E.A. Bucchianeri , Brushstrokes of a Gadfly, (Gadfly Saga, #1)

3 " He was only twelve, but he knew enough to realize that the way before him would be hard. Is it worth it? he asked himself. Was it worth losing his old life in order to learn the truth of who he was and who he was becoming? Yes. Like the pluck of a stringed instrument, the first edge of the sun broke loose and poured light over the world. "
― Andrew Peterson , North! or Be Eaten (The Wingfeather Saga, #2)
4 " I wonder where you got that idea from? I mean, the idea that it's feeble to change your mind once it's made up. That's a wrong idea, you know. Make up your mind about things, by all means - but if something happens to show that you are wrong, then it is feeble not to change your mind, Elizabeth. Only the strongest people have the pluck to change their minds, and say so, if they see they have been wrong in their ideas. "
― Enid Blyton , The Naughtiest Girl in the School (The Naughtiest Girl, #1)
