    Candace L. Talmadge
    “Helen was lost and isolated, unable to participate with the rest of
    the group. She was outside the circle with no sense of any connection
    to a Creator, and no concept of what unconditional love might feel
    like. If any type of God had indeed created her, then that Deity had
    made a mistake too cruel to forgive.”

    “To deny that there was this dark side of life would be like pretending that the cold of winter was somehow only a temporary illusion, a way station on the way to the higher "reality" of long, warm, pleasant summers. But summer, it turned out, was no more real than the snow that melted in wintertime.”

    Mary Ann Shaffer
    “What on earth did you say to Isola? She stopped in on her way to pick up Pride and Prejudice and to berate me for never telling her about Elizabeth Bennet and Mr. Darcy.
