C. S. Lewis
I live in the Managerial Age, in a world of Admin. The greatest evil is not now done in those sordid dens of crime that Dickens loved to paint. It is not done even in concentration camps and labour camps. In those we see its final result. But it is conceived and ordered (moved, seconded, carried, and minuted) in clean, carpeted, warmed and well-lighted offices, by quiet men with white collars and cut fingernails and smooth-shaven cheeks who do not need to raise their voices. Hence, naturally enough, my symbol for Hell is something like the bureaucracy of a police state or the office of a thoroughly nasty business concern.

John Henry Cardinal Newman
Let us take things as we find them: let us not attempt to distort them into what they are not. We cannot make facts. All our wishing cannot change them. We must use them.

Oprah Winfrey

Hannah Whitall Smith
Where the soul is full of peace and joy, outward surrounding and circumstances are of comparatively little account.

Henri-Frédéric Amiel
Work while you have the light. You are responsible for the talent that has been entrusted to you.

Kelly Jeppesen
What you are is God's gift to you. What you make of yourself is your gift back to God.

Truman Capote
Writing has laws of perspective, of light and shade just as painting does, or music. If you are born knowing them, fine. If not, learn them. Then rearrange the rules to suit yourself.

Thorstein Veblen
Invention is the mother of necessity.
