I have not thought about that. But I like it when you remember someone and say ‘He was a good guy, he did what he could, and he was not that bad.’ I would be happy with that.
— Pope Francis, on how he would like to be remembered.

What I am going to say is not a dogma of faith but my own personal view: I like to think of hell as empty; I hope it is
— Pope Francis.
In the original Italian:
Quello che dirò non è un dogma di fede ma una cosa mia personale. A me piace pensare l’inferno vuoto, spero sia realtà

Wouldn't let that family near me with a sharp stick, let alone a sword
— Keith Richards, on the idea of being knighted
Ron seemed to be about to object, but was beaten to it by Daphne. 'We all make mistakes, Harry. You're no exception to that,' she told him, running a hand through his hair. He wasn't consoled. 'I should've known better!' 'Probably,' his wife agreed, a small smile playing around her lips. 'But you're not an almighty god, love. You're just Harry, who has to be nagged to look at his mail, and who can't think straight before he's had his first cup of tea in the morning.' Harry made a face at her last words, but he actually chuckled and gave her a kiss on the cheek. 'Thank you, love. I needed that.'

We work to become, not to acquire
— Elbert Hubbard
"Are you preparing for another war, Plutarch?" I ask. "Oh, not now. Now we're in that sweet period where everyone agrees that our recent horrors should never be repeated," he says. "But collective thinking is usually short-lived. We're fickle, stupid beings with poor memories and a great gift for self-destruction. Although who knows? Maybe this will be it, Katniss." "What?" I ask. "The time it sticks. Maybe we are witnessing the evolution of the human race. Think about that."
— Mockingjay, book 3 of The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins
Today we need a special kind of courage. Not the kind needed in battle, but a kind which makes us stand up for everything that we know is right, everything that is true and honest. We need the kind of courage that can withstand the subtle corruption of the cynics, so that we can show the world that we are not afraid of the future.
— Queen Elizabeth II, 1957 Christmas broadcast.

In a way, you should be proud. And in a bigger, more real way, you should be angry and afraid.

"There was a pause, one of those bright shiny ones, the ones that felt content and warm and were memorable and yet they slipped through your fingers like sand, fleeting and painful to lose."

"Asking for help isn't giving up," said the horse. "It's refusing to give up."
— The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, by Charlie Mackesy
But I want you to be with someone who can be a part of the life that you want for yourself. I want you to be with someone who makes you feel the way I feel when I'm with you. So, I guess the point of this long run-on sentence that's been the last 10 years of our lives is that the simple act of being in love with you is enough for me.
— Pacey Witter, Dawson's Creek, 6x24: "...Must Come to an End"
When she'd first been learning magic, she'd thought about what her first spell would be for weeks. She'd read countless books, imagined endless scenarios, written out hundreds of possibilities. Everything she'd been told, everything she'd been read - it all said that your first spell was an important thing, a rite of passage. It's not like it would define you as a mage, but the first magic words you spoke were just as important as the first words of a baby. And he'd used his first spell on her. Spoken his first magic words for her. It took her a while to fall asleep, her mind still buzzing, but when she did, no nightmare came to her. There was only a voice, powerful and warm and familiar, holding her in the dark.

While it is always best to believe in oneself, a little help from others can be a great blessing.

Annabeth teared up with gratitude. I have seen her shrug off compliments from gods, but my mom's praise really got to her. I guess it was because she'd grown up with Athena as her distant maternal figure. Sometimes I wondered if Annabeth was open to the idea of marrying me someday only because she was excited about getting Sally Jackson-Blofis as her mother-in-law. Honestly, I couldn't blame her.
— The Chalice of the Gods, book 6 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians, by Rick Riordan, p. 167
His Grace the cardinal wholly rejects any imputation that he has sent an evil spirit to wait upon the Duke of Norfolk. He deprecates the suggestion in the strongest possible terms. No headless calf, no fallen angel in the shape of loll-tongued dog, no crawling pre-used winding-sheet, no Lazarus or animated cadaver has been sent by His Grace to pursue His Grace: nor is any such pursuit pending.
My lord cardinal makes this statement without prejudice to his right to harass and distress my lord of Norfolk by means of any fantasma which he may in his wisdom elect: at any future date, and without notice given: subject only to the lord cardinal’s views in the matter.
— A statement drafted by Thomas Cromwell on behalf of his master Cardinal Wolsey, from Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel. Part 1, Chapter 2. Text condensed to remove unrelated narrative.
There are darknesses in life, my child, and there are lights, and you are one of the lights, dear Mina, the light of all light.
— Professor Abraham Van Helsing, Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992).
