I don’t know how and when writing fiction became so difficult for me. When I was younger, I had notebooks — and later desktop folders — peopled with unfinished manuscripts. Ambitious Chapters Ones that fizzled out by the time I got to Chapter Six, short stories that were remarkable only for their Enid Blyton influences, [...]

I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of mine. A day may come when the courage of Men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of friendship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the Age of Men comes [...]

From a fun site called..yes! Book-A-Minute.
For example. Pride & Prejudice.
