"Italy's siren call lures us more and more."

-- Frances Mayes

“Seek to know the power that is within you.”
“Without constraint, without any form of mental compulsion, the act of belief becomes the freest possible projection of what resides in our hearts. Like the poet's image of a church bell that reveals its latent music only when struck, or a dragonfly that flames forth its beauty only in flight, so does the content of a human heart lie buried until action calls it forth. The greatest act of self-revelation occurs when we choose what we will believe, in that space of freedom that exists between knowing that a thing is and knowing that a thing is not.”
“It is finer to bring one noble human being into the world and rear it well... than to kill ten thousand.”
“Where wise actions are the fruit of life, wise discourse is the pollination.”
“Physics isn't the most important thing. Love is.”
“Thomas reached out and took my hand, turned it palm up, and said, "I believe that's healing very nicely." Aunt Charlotte opened the door just as he turned my hand over again and brushed a kiss across my knuckles. I experienced a nearly overpowering desire to hit him in the eye.”
