"An author can have nothing truly his own but his style."

-- Benjamin Disraeli

“And what made these heart-to-hearts possible--you might even say what made the whole friendship possible during that time--was this understanding we had that anything we told each other during these moments would be treated with careful respect: that we'd honor confidences, and that no matter how much we rowed, we wouldn't use against each other anything we'd talked about during those sessions.”
“I found it better for my soul to be humble before the mysteries o' God's dealings, and not be making a clatter about what I could never understand.”
“Keep your eyes on Christ, not the circumstances you find yourself in or the feelings you are experiencing.”
“The adolescent does not develop her identity and individuality by moving outside her family.

Her mother continues to have more influence over her than either her father or her friends.”
“To be sure, the dog is loyal. But why, on that account, should we take him as an example? He is loyal to man, not to other dogs.”

“It is not just a person's physical constitution, their intellegence, their education, or even their social conditioning that enables them to withstand hardship. Much more significant is their inner development. And while some may be able to survive through sheer willpower, the ones who suffer the least are those who have a high degree of patience and courage in the face of adversity.”
