“To all light thingsI compared her: toa snowflake, a feather”
“AndorinhaAndorinha lá fora está dizendo:— "Passei o dia à toa, à toa!"Andorinha, andorinha, minha cantiga é mais triste!Passei a vida à toa, à toa . . .”
“She felt him bow his head to rest his jaw on her hair, the touch feather light. Tears beaded in her lashes”
“What is one man's life compared to the eternity of time and space? No more than a snowflake that glitters in the sun for a moment before melting into the flow of time.”
“Duty is heavy as a mountain, death is light as a feather.”
“Afflictions are light when compared with what we really deserve. They are light when compared with the sufferings of the Lord Jesus. But perhaps their real lightness is best seen by comparing them with the weight of glory which is awaiting us.”
