These are some quotes I found in books that I took a particular liking to.

"Ages ago, thousands of generations ago, man had thrust his brother man out of the ease and sunshine. And now that brother was coming back - changed!" The Time Machine, page 77.

"And I have by me, for my comfort, two strange white flowers - shrivelled now, and brown and flat and brittle - to witness that even when mind and strength had gone, gratitude and a mutual tenderness still lived on in the heart of man." The Time Machine, page 123.

"The runners sliced through the snow and the wind whipped at his face as they sped in a straight line through an incision that seemed to lead to the final destination, the place that he had always felt was waiting, the Elsewhere that held their future and their past." The Giver, page 179.

"'Perhaps...' Mrs. Whitlaw tapped a finger against her lips for a moment. 'Perhaps the truth of the dragon lies somewhere in between the American and Chinese versions. He is neither all-bad nor all-good, neither all-destructive nor all-kind. He is a creature particularly in tune with Nature, and so, like Nature, he can be very, very kind or very, very terrible. If you love him, you will accept what he is. Otherwise he will destroy you.'" Dragonwings, page 169.
