But if there was embellishment, it only had to do with the facts. Louise Erdrich
I place no value on anything I have or may possess, except in relation to the kingdom of God. If anything will advance the interests of the kingdom, it shall be given away or kept, only as by giving or keeping it I shall most promote the glory of Him to whom I owe all my hopes in time or eternity.

There is an impression abroad that literary folk are fast readers. Wine tasters are not heavy drinkers. Literary people read slowly because they sample the complex dimensions and flavors of words and phrases. They strive for totality not lineality. They are well aware that the words on the page have to be decanted with the utmost skill. Those who imagine they read only for "content" are illusioned. Marshall McLuhan

What A frightening thing is the human, a mass of gages, and dials, and registers, but we can read only a few and those perhaps not accurately. John Steinbeck
Oh, if only I did nothing simply as a result of laziness. Lord, how I’d respect myself then. I’d respect myself precisely because at least I’d be capable of being lazy; at least I’d possess one more or less positive trait of which I could be certain. Question: who am I? Answer: a sluggard. Why, it would have been very pleasant to hear that said about oneself. It would mean that I’d been positively identified; it would mean that there was something to be said about me. “A sluggard!” Why,... Fyodor Dostoevsky
Abraham Maslow quote: "To the man who only has a hammer, everything he encounters..."
To the man who only has a hammer, everything he encounters begins to look like a nail. Abraham Maslow
They're talking about things of which they don't have the slightest understanding, anyway. It's only because of their stupidity that they're able to be so sure of themselves. Franz Kafka
When dams were erected on the Columbia, salmon battered themselves against the concrete, trying to return home. I expect no less from us. We too must hurl ourselves against and through the literal and metaphorical concrete that contains and constrains us, that keeps us from talking about what is most important to us, that keeps us from living the way our bones know we can, that bars us from our home. It only takes one person to bring down a dam. Derrick Jensen
Anne Frank quote: "I only look at her as a mother, and she doesn't succeed in..."
I only look at her as a mother, and she doesn't succeed in being that to me. Anne Frank
