"Everyone has a book inside of them - but it doesn't do any good until you pry it out."

-- Jodi Picoult

“If you're suddenly doing something you don't want to do for four years, just so you've got something to fall back on, by the time you come out you don't have that 16-year-old drive any more and you'll spend your life doing something you never wanted to do in the first place.”
“But on the extremist side I didn't get any rejections at all. Everyone agreed to talk to me.”
“I spent 10 years as a marketing manager. I've found my experience in the financial world invaluable background for writing about white-collar crimes.”
“There is inspiration everywhere. All you have to do is look. Anything is possible!”
“The tax rate of 35 percent is impossible to provide an incentive to the large corporations, that have $1.7 trillion offshore, to put their money back in the United States.”
“...once again we face a paradox, for it appears that softening your heart and gently tending its wounds will protect you from evil. Building a fortress and defending yourself behind it will only make you more vulnerable. Healing your own heart is the single most powerful thing you can do to change the world. Your own transformation will enable you to withdraw so completely from evil that you contribute to it by not one word, one thought, or one breath. This healing process is like recovering your soul.”
“He who can properly define and divide is to be considered a god.”
“Very often people who admit the facts, who are willing to see that Mr. Rockefeller has employed force and fraud to secure his ends, justify him by declaring, 'It's business.' That is, 'it's business' has come to be a legitimate excuse for hard dealing, sly tricks, special privileges.”
