    “Tact is the ability to help someone out or show them something they need to know without hurting their feelings. Your aunt and uncle may be a bit old fashioned. You can learn from that. But you may also need to help them. They don’t usually have children stay with them. You will really need to use tact with them. Okay? And here, take this. If your aunt or uncle need something, use ‘tact’ and buy it for them.”

    “Nothing can invade our being without our permission. It is energetically impossible. We can be confident in our eternal being of infinite abilities of every kind, limited only by our imagination, emotional spectrum and personal beliefs and perspectives. These are all things that can be resolved, as our conscious awareness greatly expands in understanding and can create experiences in the spectrum of beauty, joy and love.”

    Candace L. Talmadge
    “The trial awaiting Helen was known among the Toltecs as a Kazil,
    a special court convened to consider only those state crimes serious
    enough to be punished by death. It consisted of a joint session of
    the Kinshazen and the highest-ranking priests of the Temple of Kronos,
    who were referred to as the Host of the Faithful.
    A Kazil was always conducted at Kindred House, the building where
    the members of the Kinshazen met. Its outer layer consisted of massive
    blocks of polished pink granite, which had a decidedly dark cast to it.
    Kindred House was closest to Lake Shambhala of all the structures in
    the Nighthall government complex.
    Those summoned before a Kazil and convicted of the charges were invariably put to death within three days of the proceeding. And in only a few, very rare, instances had anyone been found innocent on trial before a Kazil.”

    Charlotte Brontë
    “Emily suffers no more from pain or weakness now. She will never suffer more in this world. She is gone after a hard, short conflict...Yes there is no Emily in time or on earth now. Yesterday we put her poor, wasted, mortal frame quietly under the chancel pavement. We are very calm at present. Why shoud we be otherwise? The anguish of seeing her suffer is over; the spectacle of the pains of death is gone by; the funeral day is past. We feel she is at peace. No need now to trouble for the hard frost and the keen wind. Emily does not feel them.”

    “I don't even know whether past feelings and memories deserve any respect at all. Maybe they're no more important than a pinch of pain from an injury decades old. Feelings and memories rise and pass every day, like the weather. Only important at the moment. Why not just notice them and let them go?”
