Henry Ward Beecher

Christopher Marlowe

I felt a splinter of guilt wedge into my heart. Charlotte had hurt me; in return, I'd hurt Rob. Maybe that's what we do to the people we love: take shots in the dark and realize too late we've wounded the people we're trying to protect.

Ideas are these disembodied life forms, they don’t have a form, but they have a will. All they want is to be made manifest.

Elizabeth Gilbert

Resolve to make each day the very best and don't let anyone get in your way. If they do, step on them.
