“Our women are not incredible because they have managed to avoid the difficulties of lifeâ€”quite the opposite. They are incredible because of the way they face the trials of life. Despite the challenges and tests life has to offerâ€”from marriage or lack of marriage, childrenâ€™s choices, poor health, lack of opportunities, and many other problemsâ€”they remain remarkably strong and immovable and true to the faith. Our sisters throughout the Church consistently â€œsuccor the weak, lift up the hands which hang down, and strengthen the feeble knees.”
“My readers, who may at first be apt to consider Quotation as downright pedantry, will be surprised when I assure them, that next to the simple imitation of sounds and gestures, Quotation is the most natural and most frequent habitude of human nature.

“Writing doesn't come real easy to me. I couldn't write a novel in a year. It wouldn't be readable. I don't let an editor even look at it until the second year, because it would just scare them. I just have to trust that all these scraps and dead-ends will find a way.”
“Our modern, rootless times do seem to be a particularly inhospitable environment for loyalty. We come and go so relentlessly that our friendships can't but come and go too. What sort of loyalty is there in the age of Facebook, when friendship is a costless transaction, a business of flip reciprocity.... Friendship held together by nothing more permanent than hyperlinks is hardly the stuff of selfless fidelity.”
