Cavall came simply, and gave him his heart and soul.
T. H. White
Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.

T. H. White
Life is too bitter already, without territories and wars and noble feuds
T. H. White
It is the bad people who need to have principles to restrain them.
T. H. White
I think I ought to have some eddication,said the Wart, I can't think of anything to do.
T. H. White
She hardly ever thought of him. He had worn a place for himself in some corner of her heart, as a sea shell, always boring against the rock, might do. The making of the place had been her pain. But now the shell was safely in the rock. It was lodged, and ground no longer.
T. H. White
In war, our elders may give the orders...but it is the young who have to fight.
T. H. White
My boy, you shall be everything in the world, animal, vegetable, mineral, protista, or virus, for all I care-before I have done with you-but you will have to trust my superior backsight. The time is not yet ripe for you to be a hawk... so you may as well sit down for the moment and learn to be a human being.
T. H. White
