Quotes by G. Lawrence (?)

“The acquisition of knowledge is never a bad thing; it is only the choices one makes upon that knowledge that may be good or evil.”
― G. Lawrence, The Heretic Heir

“Life is easier when one takes a moment to free the mind of thought. My thoughts wanted to destroy me, fulfil a prophesy of my destruction only they could bring true. My mind wanted to think the worst, protecting me for the worst times, yet I knew if I thought that way I surely would fail. I could not become my own worst enemy.”
― G. Lawrence, No More Time to Dance

“Dissatisfaction is the mother of all unrest. We all want to have enough, to be appreciated within our own spheres, to be seen and heard and to be treated with fairness.”
