David Copperfield Book Quotes Novels & Stories

“‘Courage is not the absence of fear, but the decision that something else is more important.’” I blinked. “That’s not a novel.” “No,” he said, lips curving faintly. “It’s a collection of speeches by Winston Churchill. You said nothing corny.” I smiled, only Andrew sterling will read a collection of speeches to someone in a plane scared of flying. His voice was deep, warm, and hypnotic as he continued. Every word rolled out smooth, steady, confident. The tension in my shoulders slowly melted away. Somewhere between his third paragraph and the next quote, my eyes grew heavy.

No matter how talented he was, how many strange encounters he had, or how many treasures of heaven and earth he consumed, it was still impossible. The other powerhouses from the Lightfoot family were utterly amused. They had the same thoughts as Archimedes. They only had one word in their hearts, ‘Impossible!’ David did not try to explain as he was faced with the jeers from Archimedes and the Lightfoot family members. No one would believe him no matter what he said anyway. It would be better to just take action. As he looked at them mocking him, David thought to himself, ‘Go on, keep laughing. Be happy now so I can send you to hell later. Consider this as me paying respect to people who are

He was always someone who believed that actions and experience was far greater than any words written in books, though he was not going to dismiss the knowledge one could gain from reading. He felt a sense of nostalgia as he read through it, there was one quote from the book in particular that he had always remembered, it goes like this; “Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart. The really great man must, I think, have great sadness on earth.” He did not know why he had the phrase outside of his mind already. There are certain philosophies that he had always lean toward better than others. He had adapted some of traditional beliefs and way of living

“We’re taking it a day at a time.” “That’s the best way to do things,” Brown proclaimed. “Epicurus said, ‘Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not.’” Sarah grinned. Brown had an incredible brain for memorization, and always had a few words of wisdom from a philosopher at the ready. “I’ve missed your quotes.”

It was nothing too fancy, but I gave the place the cozy feeling that most libraries lacked. “Fine. We’ll go to the next level, David. I will live the rest of my days doing what I love. You know, I planned to stay cooped up at home till I delivered, but you are right. I have to live while I’m still breathing. Thank you so much for opening my eyes once again. What could I have done without you?” I couldn’t thank David enough. He always had the right words to say at every turn. “Well, don’t thank me yet. Just do justice to Grand Ambiance. When you take your rightful place at the table, you can thank me then. For now, this tiny startup is not enough to make me proud.”

He smirks and squints his eye at me, making me roll my eyes and turn to face him. "Sophie, your turn. You can both take turns doing one each." I stand and begin to read out loud. "It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and well and justly, and it is impossible to live wisely and well and justly without living a pleasant life. . . - Epicurus" I clear my throat and look at Logan giving him a cheeky smile. I nod, waiting on his next guess. Mrs. McGee clears her throat and stands in front of the whiteboard with arms crossed. "Very well, Logan? Go ahead."

"Don't know; there was some kind of emergency that interrupted her class." "Uhh," I nodded, and I took a sip from my water can, still feeling tired and dizzy. "Hey, are you ok"? "Yeah, I'm fine, just dizzy from all the running". He nodded and began to read a book titled "The Gathering Storm." I glanced from him to the book and back to the book again. "Success is not final; failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that count," I quoted. "Easy tiger, I know you read this book; you don't have to prove it to me," he winked.

“When you find yourself in a hole, stop digging and try filling it instead” stared at me in big blocky white letters. I stared at the motivation quote with the backdrop of an early morning beach of some crystalline blue ocean and wondered why I thought tacking that up in my locker was a good idea. I wasn’t even sure it made sense. “Robin Douglass, you are an idiot,” I whispered as I shook my head. That would explain why I’d think tacking up some silly quote would somehow change the insignificance and dullness of my life.

David's fingers dance around my bruise as light as feathers tickling my skin-a skater spinning around a frozen pond. His other hand is in my grasp, massaged and felt by my own mindless fingers and anxious movement. The results of my speech sit on my chest, and I know the weight won't budge until the majority opinion is heard tomorrow. "You did very well," David tells me for the seventh time since I finished this morning. I spoke the final, improvised word, stepped off of the podium, returned to him, and it's the first thing he said in a proud hush.
