What old women call the horrors, have been creeping over me from head... Charles Dickens
If you are determined on the religious life, you have to toughen up your mind. You have to let it be a thouroughfare for all thoughts, and among them you must make choices. Robertson Davies

J. D. Salinger quote: "That cat was a spy. You had to take a pot shot at it. It was..."
That cat was a spy. You had to take a pot shot at it. It was a very clever German midget dressed up in a cheap fur coat. J. D. Salinger
