"Twice â€“ Once too often."

Ambrose Bierce

“God will often give you more than you can handle so you can learn to depend on Him rather than on yourself.”

“Some people fast, some people go on a cruise or visit a day spa. I get out in the woods with a rifle or a bow. That's my release.”
“On the bed, Eugenides stirred restlessly. "Upset at the sight of blood?" he said. "Not my wife, Ornon." "Your blood," the ambassador pointed out. Eugenides glanced at the hook on his arm and conceded the point. "Yes," he said. He seemed lost in memory. The room was quiet.”
“I would probably say I identified more with drama. I'm a really emotional, sensitive person. I'm family-minded and I'm the youngest of four kids. I have nine stepbrothers and sisters. And I love drama. I really do.”
