I am almost done with Lilith by George MacDonald, and I am loving it.  Here are just a few of my favorite quotes so far:

“‘You have no right to make me do things against my will!’

‘when you have a will, you will find that no one can.’”

“The part of philanthropist is indeed a dangerous one; and the man who would do his neighbour good must first study how not to do him evil, and must begin by pulling the beam out of his own eye.”

“I began to learn that it was impossible to live for oneself even, save in the presence of others–then, alas, fearfuly possible!  Evil was only through good!  Selfishness but a parasite on the tree of life.”

“I saw now that a man alone is but a being that may become a man–that he is but a need, and therefore a possibility.  To be enough for himself, a being must be an eternal, self-existent worm.”
