“You'll have to excuse Carolyn," she said. "She won the election by playing rock paper scissors and hasn't quite mastered the whole political charm thing yet.”
Augusta Reilly, Why I Held Your Hand

“Acting outwardly strong produces actual inner strength. Putting on a brave face builds a strong heart. It’s the “soldiering through” that makes you a soldier.

And once you start feeling like one, you start thinking and behaving like one. It’s playacting, but it’s playing the part that turns you into a player.”
Augusta Reilly, Words on Candy Hearts
