No mother is ever, completely, a child's idea of what a mother should be, and I suppose it works the other way around as well. But despite everything, we didn't do too badly by one another, we did as well as most. Margaret Atwood
A person's faith goes at its own pace. The trouble with church is the service. A service is conducted for a mass audience. Just when I start to like the hymn, everyone plops down to pray.

Almost, at times, the Fool. T. S. Eliot
Few and mean as my gifts may be, I actually am, and do not need for my own assurance or the assurance of my fellows any secondary testimony. Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hillary Clinton quote: "What did you do with the time and talents i gave you? God's..."
What did you do with the time and talents i gave you? God's question... Hillary Clinton
It's not the face but the experrsions on it. It is not the voice but what you say. It is not how you look in that body but what you choose to do in it. -Ian Stephenie Meyer
There are a lot of questions I keep asking myself about why I do comedy. I guess I laugh to keep from crying. And I guess if you ever get me crying, I might not stop. This is the way I look at tragedy or else I'll cry. Bob Newhart
What greater flood can there be than the flood of ideas? How quickly they submerge all that they set out to destroy, how rapidly do they create terrifying depths? Victor Hugo
