Bathsheba loved Troy in the way that only self-reliant women love when they abandon their self-reliance. When a strong woman recklessly throws away her strength she is worse than a weak woman who has never any strength to throw away. One source of her inadequacy is the novelty of the occasion. She has never had practice in making the best of such a condition. Weakness is doubly weak by being new.

Thomas Hardy, Far From the Madding Crowd

Still from Far From the Madding Crowd (2015)

There’s a bird. It’s a quite nondescript grey colour. It’s accustomed not to moving too quickly, not to draw attention to itself for fear of being beaten. It wishes it could be in a cage but sooner or later, slowly, day by day, its wings grow very strong and if you were to look very closely, you would see brilliant scarlet feathers hidden under its drab wings. Until one day, it’s grown so confident that it flaps its red wings and flies straight upwards into the sky and those lucky enough to catch it in flight think they have caught a glimpse of a firebird. JANE EYRE (2006)

“Pride is spiritual cancer: it eats up the very possibility of love, or contentment, or even common sense.”

Sometimes you need to just sit outside, stare at a tree, and remember that God created all of this.

It’s good for the soul.

“1967 art by John Schoenherr for a Dragonriders of Pern story by Anne McCaffrey. It was a particular favorite of McCaffrey’s, who wrote in a letter to Schoenherr: “How did you manage to convey that foolish bronze’s tender regard and lack of menace in black and white, no less.…” Original tweet made by 70′s Sci-fi Art on twitter.
