87 " No one wants to be entrapped by his or her addictive habit... "
88 " The lack of culpability of the perpetrator and his or her transference of blame onto alcohol or other substances only perpetuates the violent behaviors. "

92 " I have frequently thought to myself, 'If I can teach my daughter one thing, it will be the love of self unconditionally.'

94 " The life of a child is precious. "
95 " The pandemic has created a new wave of homelessness and we are not prepared for the consequences of this looming tsunami. "

97 " While there is a real urgency for caution, there is also an overwhelming urgency for calm. My greatest concern is that the driving force of this pandemic may cause those who have no signs or symptomology to develop other chronic fears, anxieties and medical conditions. Heightened fears and anxieties will not make you feel safer. Compulsive and impulsive purchases will not protect you from the virus. It is important that you take care of your physical and mental health. Follow what your state and county are advising you to do. The sky is not falling and life will return to normal. The most prudent thing that people can do at this time, is to take commonsense approaches to reduce your risk of exposure. "

99 " While fear is often associated with safety and caution, they are not the same. "
