“But there is another realm where we can always find something true, the fireside of a friend, where we shed our little conceits and find warmth and understanding, where small selfishnesses are impossible and where wine and books and talk give a different meaning to existence.
There we have made something that no falseness can touch. We are at home.”
Kressman Taylor, Address Unknown

“We are vain and we are dishonest because it is necessary to triumph over other vain and dishonest persons.”
Kressman Taylor, Address Unknown

“از بین رفتن ناامیدی خیلی وقتها منجر می شود به قدم گذاشتن در راههای جنون آمیز.”
Kathrine Kressmann Taylor, Address Unknown
