“At the end of the day faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you don’t really expect it. Its like one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different than you dreamed. The castle, well, it may not be a castle. And its not so importantly happy ever after, just that its happy right now. See once in a while, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you , and once in a while people may even take your breath away.”
“Recipe For Greatness - To bear up under loss; To fight the bitterness of defeat and the weakness of grief; To be victor over anger; To smile when tears are close; To resist disease and evil men and base instincts; To hate hate and to love love; To go on when it would seen good to die; To look up with unquenchable faith in something ever more about to be. That is what any man can do, and be great.”
“Where I was raised a woman’s word was law. I ain’t quite outgrowed that yet.”
“Unhappiness is only a change. Happiness itself is only change. So what does it matter? The great thing is to see life–to understand–to feel–to work–to fight–to endure.”
“Socialism reached into her mind, to be rejected. She had never understood it clearly, but it seemed to her a state of mind where dissatisfied men and women wanted to share what harder working or more gifted people possessed.”
“With distrust came suspicion and with suspicion came fear, and with fear came hate–and these, in already distorted minds, inflamed a hell.”
“ What’s all the row over at Ben’s ?" Mrs. Ide inquired placidly, from her comfortable chair. " Rustlers, cattle, foremen, sheriffs, and Heaven only knows what ," replied Hettie, distractedly.”
