“The people who say you are not facing reality
actually mean that you are not facing their idea of reality.
Reality is above all else a variable.
With a firm enough commitment,
you can sometimes create a reality which did not exist before.”
Margaret Halsey

“In some circumstances, the refusal to be defeated is a refusal to be educated.”
Margaret Halsey

“Whenever I dwell for any length of time on my own shortcomings, they gradually begin to see mild, harmless, rather engaging little things, not at all like the staring defects in other people's characters.”
Margaret Halsey
