"If she told him her fears, it would only discourage him, and she'd have to listen to more insistence that she take him back to the enchanted place and lead him across the bridge so he could go home. She tried to imagine what it would be like to be in his place, cut off from family, trapped in a situation not of her devising."
Enchantment, by Orson Scott Card. Page 136

ooo! I want to read Enchantment.
Here's mine:
"We've got to have rules and obey them. After all, we're not savages. We're English, and the English are best at everything."
- William Golding, Lord of the Flies, Ch. 2
Great teaser - I'll have to check this book out :o)
Those are both good!! I {heart} Lord of the Flies.
Mine:
"The smell of Azaleas and the creeping loneliness that climbed over me as I poked around Suffolk had begun to suffocate me. The isolation my family had felt, the heartbreak they had suffered, seemed to ooze out of the trees, curling through stately old buildings and rising like steam off the Civil War statue that seemed too point it's cannon directly at me as I wandered through the town graveyard." -The Color of Water by James McBride, Chapter 22
I don't think I've read this one. I'll have to check it out.
"I shall no longer have my friends then," said the young man. "Alas, nothing henceforth, but bitter recollections."
"You are young," said Athos, "and your bitter recollections have time to change themselves to tender remembrances."
-Alexandre Dumas , The Three Musketeers
*I just finished it last night.
"Your past wouldn't frighten me," I said, buckling my seat belt across my lap. "I'm guessing I'd be more appalled than anything."
-hush, hush by Becca Fitzpatrick
Oh, great teaser! I've never actually read anything by Orson Scott Card, but this sounds good!
"You keep speaking of the desert," said Sarai, "but I have spent my life passing easily between grassland and city, while I have only seen true desert here in your land. Start from the assumption that I have not spent my entire life among cattle, and perhaps we can cease our banter before one of us gets offended."
~Sarah by Orson Scott Card
(yes, i'm slow)
It's not Friday anymore, but I have to play this game!!
"Now she was ten, with long legs and no more silly dreams of pink-frosted cupcakes. And now she-- and all the Danes-- were to be bodyguard for Ellen, and Ellen's parents, and all of Denmark's Jews." Number the Stars, Lois Lowry, p26
