• Then there was Nico di Angelo. Dang, that kid gave Leo the freaky-deakies. He sat back in his leather aviator jacket, his black T-shirt and jeans, that wicked silver skull ring on his finger, and the Stygian sword at his side. His tufts of black hair struck up in curls like baby bat wings. His eyes were sad and kind of empty, as if he’d stared into the depths of Tartarus—which he had.

• Once in Persia reigned a king
  Who upon his signet ring
  Graved a maxim true and wise,
  Which if held before the eyes
  Gave him counsel at a glance
  Fit for every change and chance.
  Solemn words, and these are they:
  "Even this shall pass away."

  Theodore Tilton

• Time was with most of us, when Christmas Day, encircling all our limited world like a magic ring, left nothing out for us to miss or seek; bound together all our home enjoyments, affections, and hopes; grouped everything and everyone round the Christmas fire, and make the little picture shining in our bright young eyes, complete.

• Learn to live well, or fairly make your will;
  You've play'd, and lov'd, and ate, and drank your fill:
  Walk sober off, before a sprightlier age
  Comes titt'ring on, and shoves you from the stage.

• We ring the bells and we raise the strain
  We hang up garlands everywhere
  And bid the tapers twinkle fair,
  And feast and frolic - and then we go
  Back to the same old lives again.

  Soon the bells will start,
  And the thing that will make them ring
  Is the carol that you sing
  Right within your heart.

• What is now the foliage moving?
  Air is still, and hush'd the breeze,
  Sultriness, this fullness loving,
  Through the thicket, from the trees.
  Now the eye at once gleams brightly,
  See! the infant band with mirth
  Moves and dances nimbly, lightly,
  As the morning gave it birth,
  Flutt'ring two and two o'er earth.

  Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

• During our mortal schooling in submissiveness, we will see the visible crosses that some carry, but other crosses will go unseen. A few individuals may appear to have no trials at all, which, if it were so, would be a trial in itself. Indeed, if, as do trees, our souls had rings to measure the years of greatest personal growth, the wide rings would likely reflect the years of greatest moisture-but from tears, not rainfall.

  Neal A. Maxwell

• I do feel immigration will probably be dealt with as long as [the solution] doesn't provide amnesty ... Five years ago, all hell broke loose ... This year, I thought phones would ring off the hook again. They really haven't. I think everybody realizes we have a problem.

• The act of taking my own life is not something that I do without a lot of thought. I don't believe that people should take their own lives without deep and thoughtful reflection over a considerable period of time. I do believe strongly, however, that the right to do so is one of the most fundamental rights anyone in a free society should have. For me much of the world makes no sense, but my feelings about what I am doing ring loud and clear to an inner ear and to a place where there is no self, only calm. Love always, Wendy.
