Quotes by Rhoda Janzen (?)

“In my opinion, sexiness comes down to three things: chemistry, sense of humor, and treatment of waitstaff at restaurants.”

“I've come to believe that virtue isn’t a condition of character. It’s an elected action. It’s a choice we keep making, over and over, hoping that someday we’ll create a habit so strong it will carry us through our bouts of pettiness and meanness.”
― Rhoda Janzen, Mennonite in a Little Black Dress: A Memoir of Going Home
