"Really starting to get disgusted with this. Halfway through and no practical information I can use so far. If all the lengthy overexplanations of the Wiccan Rede were left out, it would be a flimsy pamphlet. If it were titled "The Ethics of Shielding for Wiccans" I would NOT have bought it." — Jan 16, 2014 02:25PM

“Our house is old, and noisy, and full. when we moved into it we had two children and about five thousand books; I expect that when we finally overflow and move out again we will have perhaps twenty children and easily half a million books; we also own assorted beds and tables and chairs and rocking horses and lamps and doll dresses and ship models and paint brushes and literally thousands of socks.”
― Shirley Jackson, Life Among the Savages

“If you want to test cosmetics, why do it on some poor animal who hasn't done anything? They should use prisoners who have been convicted of murder or rape instead. So, rather than seeing if perfume irritates a bunny rabbit's eyes, they should throw it in Charles Manson's eyes and ask him if it hurts.”
― Ellen DeGeneres, My Point... And I Do Have One
