#Very Happy Quotes

“Baptism pertains to the Church alone.”
“It's a form of violence, in the way that we look at women and how we expect them to look and be - for what sake? Not health, not survival, no enjoyment of life but just so you could look pretty. I'm constantly telling girls all the time, 'Everything's airbrushed, everything's retouched. None of us look like that.”
“The soul knows everything. Be who you are and your life will transform forever.”
“The joining of the whole congregation in prayer has something exceedingly solemn and affecting in it.”

“As a competitor, winner or loser, one crosses the line into limbo. The adrenaline is gone, the anticipation is gone.

“Getting lab results to child clinicians faster compliments our Action Plan for Health Care by helping more patients get the right care, at the right time.

“There are people whose eyes you must avoid, whose attention you must not draw to yourself. They are strange, parasitic creatures, lost souls seeking to stretch across the abyss and make fatal contact with the warm, constant flow of humanity. They live in pain, and exist only to visit that pain on others. A random glance, the momentary lingering of a look, is enough to give them the excuse that they seek. Sometimes, it is better to keep your eyes on the gutter for the fear that, by looking up, you might catch a glimpse of them, black shapes against the sun, and be blinded forever.”
