Quote by Christina Rossetti

Hope is like a harebell trembling from its birth.

Hope is like a harebell trembling from its birth.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the delicate and fleeting nature of hope. Just like a harebell, which is a delicate wildflower known for its quivering appearance, hope is portrayed as something fragile and vulnerable, particularly in its early stages. The comparison suggests that hope is easily disturbed or lost, highlighting the need to nurture and protect it. Similar to how a harebell trembles upon blossoming, hope can also waver in uncertainty before fully flourishing.

Be happy, be happy; you shall have your red rose. I will build it out of music by moonlight, and stain it with my own heart's-blood. All that I ask of you in return is that you will be a true lover, for Love is wiser than Philosophy, though she is wise, and mightier than Power, though he is mighty.

Terror is as much a part of the concept of truth as runniness is of the concept of jam. We wouldn't like jam if it didn't, by its very nature, ooze. We wouldn't like truth if it wasn't sticky, if, from time to time, it didn't ooze blood.

Because never in my entire childhood did I feel like a child

Because never in my entire childhood did I feel like a child. I felt like a person all along--the same person that I am today. I never felt that I spoke childishly. I never felt that my emotions and desires were somehow less real than adult emotions and desires. And in writing _Ender's Game_, I forced the audience to experience the lives of these children from that perspective--the perspective in which their feelings and decisions are just as real and important as any adult's. ... _Ender's Game_ asserts the personhood of children, and those who are used to thinking of children in another way ... are going to find _Ender's Game_ a very unpleasant place to live.
