Quotes by Bernadette Pajer (?)

“Without death, life would have no boundaries and our days would not be so precious. My mother was a firm believer in the common sense of nature.”

“Bradshaw especially didn't like the use of the word "experiment" in regard to social conditions. Experiments included of necessity, expendable components. Failure was a precursor to success. When the components were human, who had the audacity to use, lose them, toss them away?”
― Bernadette Pajer, Fatal Induction

Hi Beth! You're welcome! I'm glad I found (although not sure how I did). I'm new at this and finding it fabulous. I read your blog post and agree that Goodreads is great for writers and readers.
