Among all the world's races, some obscure Bedouin tribes possibly apart, Americans are the most prone to misinformation.

Suddenly is the soul oned to God when it is truly peaced in itself: for in Him is found no wrath. And thus I saw when we are all in peace and in love, we find no contrariness, nor no manner of letting through that contrariness which is now in us.

Julian of Norwich

David Mitchell

The one thing my mom will let me get is a nice shoe sometimes.

Chloe Moretz

I am not a teacher, but an awakener.

Robert Frost

Before you try to convince anyone else, be sure you are convinced, and if you cannot convince yourself, drop the subject.
