I'm Turning 100 (Sort of)

YAY I've made it to my 100th post, syndication here I come...oh wait that's television :-)  Regardless I think this calls for a celebration break out the bubbly!

Mmm that was tasty.  For the rest of you I have posted some quotes from my favorite authors, hope you enjoy.

C.S. Lewis

“Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one.”
-- C.S. Lewis

 “You don't have a soul. You are a soul. You have a body.”
-- C.S. Lewis

“We read to know that we are not alone.”
--C.S. Lewis

“No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally – and often far more – worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond.”

--J.J.R. Tolkien "The Fellowship of the Ring"

“Never laugh at live dragons.”
--J.J.R. Tolkien

“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don't we consider it his duty to escape?. . .If we value the freedom of mind and soul, if we're partisans of liberty, then it's our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can!”
--J.J.R. Tolkien

“A single dream is more powerful than a thousand realities.”

“Nitwit, blubber, oddment, tweak.”
 --J.K. Rowling "Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone"

Anne McCaffrey

“A good story is a good story no matter who wrote it.”
 --Anne McCaffery

“Make no judgments where you have no compassion.”
 --Anne McCaffery

“Oh, Tongue, give sound to joy and sing
Of hope and promise on dragonwing”
--Anne McCaffery "Dragonsong"

“Drummer, beat, and piper, blow
Harper, strike, and soldier, go
Free the flame and sear the grasses
Til the dawning Red Star passes”
