There is no tyrant as merciless as pain.
You should never trust a person who prays in public.
THE THREE is really wonderful. A mix of Michael Crichton and Shirley Jackson, hard to put down and vastly entertaining.
No one can be as intellectually slothful as a really smart person
Some tears have to be cried no matter what the hour- until they are, they simply rave and burn inside.
