Jace: My father belived in a righteous God. Deus volt, that was his motto- 'Because God wills it.' It was the Crusaders' motto, and they went into battle and were slaughterred, just like my father. And when I saw him lying dead in a pool of his own blood, I knew then that I hadn't stopped believing in God. I'd just stopped believing God cared.

I do not think we are deceived to grow, But that the crudest fancy, slightest show, Covers some separate truth that we may know. In the one Truth, each separate fact is true; Eternally in one I many view, And destinies through destiny pursue.

Margaret Fuller

For success in training children the first condition is to become as a child oneself, but this means no assumed childishness, no condescending baby-talk that the child immediately sees through and deeply abhors. What it does mean is to be as entirely and simply taken up with the child as the child himself is absorbed by his life.

Ellen Key

When writing about transcendental issues, be transcendentally clear.

Rene Descartes

Christmas is the antithesis of Thanksgiving. Christmas is pretty much a man-made holiday.

John Clayton
