1 " As soon as we got back I ran upstairs and told everyone the story, thus telling everyone the alarm code, thus breaking one of the Ten Commandments when I lied and said I’d keep the code a secret. As I’ve known for a long, long time now, hell is going to be totally fucking worth it. "

2 " My best advice is this - by the time you meet your Maker, and may it be a long, long time from now, I hope you can close your eyes on a life where you did your damn best and tried your damn hardest. It's not winning that's really winning. It's never giving up. "

― Robyn Carr , Any Day Now (Sullivan's Crossing, #2)

4 " When our mother is seen only as the one-dimensional Mary of modern times, instead of the great dual force of life and death, She is relegated to the same second-class status of most women in the world.

― Ana Castillo , Goddess of the Americas

And it's so long you don't recognize the place. Don't know the furniture, don't recognize the floor plan. But you know by the feel of it that it's an old familiar place and you are glad you came." " I like it here," said. Ebenezer and he meant Webster's lap, but the man misunderstood." Of course, you do," he said. " It's your home as well as mine. More your home, in fact, for you stayed here and took care of it while I forgot about it. "
