"The society of my relatives can only be enjoyed with frequent intervals."

Georgette Heyer

“Self awareness allows you to self-correct.”
“It's no accident that new ideas pop into our heads when we least expect it. In our enthusiasm to be productive, we forget to give our mind/body moments to be "receptive" - that is, open to daydreaming, open to letting our minds wander.”
“Long, long ago the country bore the country-town and nourished it with her best blood. Now the giant city sucks the country dry, insatiably and incessantly demanding and devouring fresh streams of men, till it wearies and dies in the midst of an almost uninhabited waste of country.”

“Peace will come to the hearts of men when they realize their oneness with the universe, It is every where.”
“I am willing to compete on my merits and on my character - not with the color of my skin. We talk about being a color-blind society, but I don't think the political process could actually handle that.”
“The term bisexual has ended up as the ugly stepchild of sexuality, in both name and meaning. Its fate is symptomatic of the bisexual's own lot in life: to be as common as can be, but unacknowledged.”

“I...have a woman in my arms who has suffered greatly and desperately needs to believe once again that she is beautiful.”
“Had Christ not risen we could not believe Him to be what He declared Himself when He "made Himself equal with God." But He has risen in the confirmation of all His claims.

It is the fundamental fact in the Christian's unwavering confidence in "all the words of this life.”
