“It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”

The Alchemist

“The fool doth think he is wise, but the wise man knows himself to be a fool.”

As You Like It

“But Horton kept sitting, and said with a sneeze,

‘I’ll stay on this egg and I won’t let it freeze.

I meant what I said

And I said what I meant. . . .

An elephant’s faithful

One hundred per cent!’”

Horton Hatches the Egg

“Once upon a time, son,

they used to laugh with their hearts

and laugh with their eyes:

but now they only laugh with their teeth,

while their ice-block-cold eyes

search behind my shadow.”

“Once Upon a Time”

“People aren’t born good or bad. Maybe they’re born with tendencies either way, but it’s the way you live your life that matters.”

City of Glass

“There is a place where the sidewalk ends

And before the street begins,

And there the grass grows soft and white,

And there the sun burns crimson bright,

And there the moon-bird rests from his flight

To cool in the peppermint wind.”

“Where the Sidewalk Ends”

“Becoming fearless isn’t the point. That’s impossible. It’s learning how to control your fear, and how to be free from it.”

Divergent

“Names are not important. It’s what lies inside of you that matters.”

Throne of Glass

“More than a catbird hates a cat,

Or a criminal hates a clue,

Or the Axis hates the United States,

That's how much I love you.

I love you more than a duck can swim,

And more than a grapefruit squirts,

I love you more than a gin rummy is a bore,

And more than a toothache hurts.

As a shipwrecked sailor hates the sea,

Or a juggler hates a shove,

As a hostess detests unexpected guests,

That's how much you I love.

I love you more than a wasp can sting,

And more than the subway jerks,

I love you as much as a beggar needs a crutch,

And more than a hangnail irks.

I swear to you by the stars above,

And below, if such there be,

As the High Court loathes perjurious oathes,

That's how you're loved by me.”

“To My Valentine”

“When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind.”

Dr. Seuss

Gabriel Okara
