• You happened to me,You scare me to death, you know. When you stormed into my life, you turned everything inside out. You upset all the things I believed about myself and made me think in new ways. I know who I used to be, but I’m finally ready to figure out who I am. Cynicism gets tiring, Isabel, and you’ve . . . rested me.And don’t you dare tell me you’ve stopped loving me back, because you’re still a better person than I am, and I’m counting on you to take more care with my heart than I took with yours.

• I believe that a great number of people are going to die and go to hell because they’re counting on their religiosity in the church instead of their relationship with Jesus to get them to heaven. They give lip service to repentance and faith, but they’ve never been born again.

• He dibujado cosas desde que tenía 6 años. Todo lo que hice antes de los 65 no vale la pena contarlo. A los 73 empecé a comprender la verdadera construcción de animales, plantas, árboles, pájaros, peces e insectos. A los 90 entraré en el secreto de las cosas. A los 110, todo -cada punto, cada raya- vivirá. A todos los que vayan a vivir tanto como yo, les prometo cumplir mi palabra. Escribo esto en mi vejez, solía llamarme Hokusai, pero hoy firmo como 'El viejo loco por el dibujo'.

• People are usually too busy counting the things they don't have. They notice how much more money their neighbor has, how much further ahead in spiritual unfoldment someone else is, and so on. But if we stop to count our blessings, to realize how much we do have and be grateful for it, then the heart is kept open to love and all the gifts that love brings, including the possibility of healing.

• He gave her a sly, sideways look. "Did you bring it?" "My list? Heavens, no. What can you be thinking?" His smile widened. "I brought mine." Daphne gasped. "You didn't!" "I did. Just to torture Mother. I'm going peruse it right in front of her, pull out my quizzing glass—" "You don't have a quizzing glass." He grinned—the slow, devastatingly wicked smile that all Bridgerton males seemed to possess. "I bought one just for this occasion." "Anthony, you absolutely cannot. She will kill you. And then, somehow, she'll find a way to blame me." "I'm counting on it.

• Louise, I would gladly fire the past for you, go and not look back. I have been reckless before, never counting the cost, oblivious to the cost. Now, I've done the sums ahead. I know what it will mean to redeem myself from the accumulations of a lifetime. I know and I don't care. You set before me a space uncluttered by association. It might be a void or it might be a release. Certainly I want to take the risk. I want to take the risk because the life I have stored up is going mouldy.

• Llevamos la máscara que sonríe y miente, Oculta nuestras mejillas y ensombrece nuestros ojos,- Esta deuda pagamos a la astucia humana; Con corazones desgarrados y sangrantes sonreímos Y la boca con miríadas de sutilezas. ¿Por qué habría de ser de otro modo el mundo, Al contar todas nuestras lágrimas y suspiros? No, que sólo vean así, mientras llevamos la máscara. Sonreímos, pero, oh gran Cristo, de las almas torturadas surgen nuestros gritos hacia ti. Cantamos, pero oh la arcilla es vil Bajo nuestros pies, y larga la milla; Pero que el mundo sueñe otra cosa, ¡Nosotros llevamos la máscara!

• How many demons and people are enslaved here? (Jericho) Define slavery. (Asmodeus) Kept against their will. (Jericho) Good definition. Counting me? (Asmodeus) Why not? (Jericho) Probably a couple of million…you know it’s really hard to count to a million, plus they’re always dying and new ones are coming in. I tried to count once, but it got really depressing so I stopped. The constant adding and subtracting. Not my forte, really. (Asmodeus)

• I bear my testimony that there is no joy to be found in all this world like that of sweet communion with Christ. I would barter all else there is of heaven for that. Indeed, that is heaven. As for the harps of gold and the streets like clear glass and the songs of seraphs and the shouts of the redeemed, one could very well give all these up, counting them as a drop in a bucket, if we might forever live in fellowship and communion with Jesus.
