Tuesday's Question???


 

Hello, welcome to "Tuesday's Question," Last week I wrote about how well I got to know my readers and vice-versa. I wrote about the third question I asked, which was: "What is your favorite line at the beginning of a novel? Please check out Sandee from https://comedy-plus.com/ to the third Tuesday's Question in 2007, that I posted last week. . 

Today's Tuesday's Question is: What is your favorite line at the end of a novel?  

I'll go first.  My favorite ending to a novel is from F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel, "The Great Gatsby"-   

"And as I sat there, brooding on the old unknown world, I thought of Gatsby’s wonder when he first picked out the green light at the end of Daisy’s dock. He had come a long way to this blue lawn and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it. He did not know that it was already behind him, somewhere back in that vast obscurity beyond the city, where the dark fields of the republic rolled on under the night.

Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that’s no matter—tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . And one fine morning——

So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past." 

Now, if there is anyone out there, it's your turn. :)

Thank you for stopping by :)

Your answer is the first one I thought about, so I'll go with another favorite movie.

“After all, tomorrow is another day.” Gone with the Wind.

-Smiling- That would have been my second answer! Not kidding, except, I do like, " Oh, if I think about that now, I'll go crazy. I'll think about it tomorrow." I'm not sure if I phrase that right, but it's another line, I love from "Gone With The Wind.'

Love and "Hugs."

Btw, I'm working on today's question right now, sorry for the delay. And thank you for being such a great friend.

Lost inside a state of mental and physical exhaustion, I prayed to meet an angel on earth, then, I felt the pillow of a horses mouth gently sweep grass from the palm of my hand. – Ann Clemmons

Motherhood- Courage


Motherhood is an art impossible to explain, one which requires a vast sea of love, devotion, compassion, and understanding, unmatched by any affection we will ever know again.- Ann Clemmons

Words-

Words are the core of our souls, without written, vocal or lyrical expression we lose sight of one another or worse, ourselves. Words bring forth the essence of the human spirit; so express yourself without abandon.

Favorite Phrase

I remember I used to half believe and wholly play with fairies when I was a child. What heaven can be more real than to retain the spirit-world of childhood, tempered and balanced by knowledge and common-sense...

Beatrix Potter’s Journal, 17 November 1896, from the National Trust collection.

The Storyteller, by Dawn Drover

Alone in her world
of make believe
weaving her stories
of magic and light

She brings joy
to the eyes
of innocent minds
less jaded and free

For only they know
what's in her heart
holding the secrets
she guards so well

Life's hidden mysteries
belong to those
whose wisdom and truth
shine on in imagination

Favorite quotes-

In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since.

Whenever you feel like criticizing any one,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.”'


F. Scott Fitzgerald. (Lines from The Great Gatsby)
"A Southerner Talks Music"

Mark Twain

"A book must be the ax for the frozen sea inside us."

Franz Kafka

An author values a compliment even when it comes from a source of doubtful competency.

- Mark Twain in Eruption

"I like a good story well told. That is the reason I am sometimes forced to tell them myself"

Mark Twain
