I want to go home at night and feel discomfort.

This is a book which I would recommend to anyone who is walking through the pain of abuse. A book of courage in the face of overwhelming odds; a book which will touch your heart and give you hope.

Robert Frost

Here I am once more in this scene of dissipation and vice, and I begin already to find my morals corrupted.

Jane Austen

Sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself. It is as if they are showing you the way.

Don Miller

David Puttnam

Being a mom makes me feel whole and like I understand the meaning of life.

Rebecca Romijn

I feel a social responsibility. We need to open people's eyes. There is a lack of education in Ethiopia.

Haile Gebrselassie

Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton

Theologians talk about a prevenient grace that precedes grace itself and allows us to accept it. I think there must also be a prevenient courage that allows us to be brave - that is, to acknowledge that there is more beauty than our eyes can bear, that precious things have been put into our hands and to do nothing to honor them is to do great harm. And therefore, this courage allows us, as the old men said, to make ourselves useful. It allows us to be generous, which is another way of saying exactly the same thing.

Marilynne Robinson

The capacity you're thinking of is imagination without it there can be no understanding, indeed no fiction.

William Trevor

Dare to be honest and fear no labor.

Robert Burns
