“There is much to be known,” said Adaon, “and above all much to be loved, be it the turn of the seasons or the shape of a river pebble. Indeed, the more we find to love, the more we add to the measure of our hearts.” (28)
Adaon smiled gravely. “Is there not glory enough in living the days given to us? You should know there is adventure in simply being among those we love and the things we love, and beauty, too.” (75)
What a lovely quote. I especially like the second one.
This one is a book I’m looking forward to reading when my kiddos gain some thicker skins. This only whets my appetite!
Lovely thoughts!
It has been too long since we have read this.
I am so curious about this book. (Mostly because I’m curious about the Disney-fied version which I have never seen. But the book definitely piques an interest. I’ll be curious to hear your concluding thoughts on this one!
