Laura (Reading is a Doing Word)

“A tyrant runs a country. He does this via a lot of other people doing this tyrant's work for him. They do it partly because they think he'll kill them or their families if they don't, and partly because it makes them feel powerful too.
One of the things you're not allowed to say in this country is that the tyrant is a tyrant.”
― Ali Smith, Gliff

“I'm all my me's, she said. I am complete.”
― Ali Smith, Gliff

“We can't solve it. But we can still salve it.”
― Ali Smith, Gliff

“If you have a belief in yourself and in the rightness of what you are doing, you can often accomplish things that are worth while.”
― Agatha Christie, Appointment with Death
