Selected quotes by Amelia Barr

Wisdom
It is only in sorrow bad weather masters us; in joy we face the storm and defy it.
Happiness
All changes are more or less tinged with melancholy, for what we are leaving behind is part of ourselves.

Happiness
This world is run with far too tight a rein for luck to interfere. Fortune sells her wares; she never gives them. In some form or other, we pay for her favors; or we go empty away.
Life
Whatever the scientists may say, if we take the supernatural out of life, we leave only the unnatural.
Life
What we buy, and pay for, is part of ourselves.
Wisdom
When men make themselves into brutes it is just to treat them like brutes.
