Quotes from Charles Morgan

All enchantments die; only cowards die with them.

There are moments, above all on June evenings, when the lakes that hold our moons are sucked into the earth, and nothing is left but wine and the touch of a hand.

If Moses had gone to Harvard Law School and spent three years working on the Hill, he would have written the Ten Commandments with three exceptions and a saving clause.

It is not by great acts but by small failures that freedom dies. The sense of justice dies slowly in a people. They grow used to the unthinkable, and sometimes they may look back and even wonder when things changed. They will not find a day or a time or a place. Justice and liberty die quietly, because men first learn to ignore injustice and then no longer recognize it.

As knowledge increases, wonder deepens.

All enchantments die; only cowards die with them.

Lewis Alison, a dark, craggy man of more than common height, gave no sign of sharing in the general curiosity. He stayed in his place, seeming to have wrapped himself in a composure not easily disturbed.

As knowledge increases, wonder deepens. (Thanks Joe P. for the quote)

How we feel, think, speak and/or act is what matters in life.--

There is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved

Truth is the complete unconcealment of reality

What we communicate to ourselves matters--

Love is the life of our heart. According to it, we desire, rejoice, hope and despair, fear, take heart, hate, avoid things, feel sad, grow angry, and exult.

There is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved: It is God's finger on man's shoulder.
