Delight 365 // days 125-134

I am ashamed. I am just now starting to read Lord of the Rings. It's one of those books that I've always wanted to read but never have. When it comes to big books, though, I like to own them instead of returning them to the library before I can finish them. So, when I saw a copy of Fellowship of the Rings at Goodwill for only $0.50, I just had to pick it up. Expect to see more quotes from it as I continue reading because it is chock full of good quotes. 

Day 125

"Introverts are capable of acting like extroverts for the sake of work they consider important, people they love, or anything they value highly."

Susan Cain

"Your handwriting. The way you walk. Which china pattern you choose. It's all giving you away. Everything you do shows your hand. Everything is a self portrait. Everything is a diary."

Day 128

"In your hearts set apart Christ as Lord."

1 Peter 3:15

Day 129

"They seem a bit above my likes and dislikes, so to speak," answered Sam slowly. "It don't seem to matter what I think about them. They are quite different from what I expected - so old and young, and so gay and sad, as it were."

The Fellowship of the Ring

Day 130

"Where you tend a rose, my lad, a thistle cannot grow."

The Secret Garden 

Day 131

"The more he gave away, the more delighted he became."

Day 133

"I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature. My attachments are always excessively strong."

Northanger Abbey

Day 134

"I feel that as long as the shire lies behind, safe and comfortable, I shall find wandering more bearable; I shall know that somewhere there is a firm foothold, even if my feet cannot stand there again."

Frodo, The Fellowship of the Ring
