Barbara Kingsolver
“What I want is so simple I almost can't say it: elementary kindness.”
Barbara Kingsolver, Animal Dreams

We read to know we're not alone.
“We read to know we're not alone.”
William Nicholson, Shadowlands: A Play

Barbara Kingsolver
“A mother's body remembers her babies-the folds of soft flesh, the softly furred scalp against her nose. Each child has it's own entreaties to body and soul.”
Barbara Kingsolver

Friendship ... is born at the moment when one man says to another What! You
“Friendship ... is born at the moment when one man says to another "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . .”
C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

Kent Nerburn
“Remember to be gentle with yourself and others. We are all children of chance, and none can say while some fields will blossom and others lay brown beneath the August sun. Care for those around you. Look past your differences. Their dreams are no less than yours, their choices in life no more easily made. And give. Give in any way you can, of whatever you possess. To give is to love. To withhold is to wither. Care less for your harvest than how is shared, and your life will have meaning and your heart will have peace.”
Kent Nerburn
