POSSIBILITY QUOTES

The world is full of hopeful analogies and handsome dubious eggs called possibilities.

GEORGE ELIOT, Middlemarch

DAWN! thou hast every possibility of life! What canst thou not reveal to man in thy flaming sky? Enough thou sayest, to recreate a world of men. Blind are we. How many of us read thy words aright? We pass them by, cold letters, divining not the fire of eternal life behind them burning. Dawn, thy opportunity is full! We, alas, know not the meaning of thy gorgeous page. Dazed we watch thy letters pale; cold embers, left upon the sky; Life's opportunity flickering into naught.

ELISE PUMPELLY CABOT, "Arizona"

Do not become so attached to any one belief that you cannot see past it to another possibility.

CHRISTOPHER PAOLINI, Brisingr
