    “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.”
    ― R. Gerry Fabian, Just Out Of Reach

    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.”
    ― Candace L. Talmadge, Stoneslayer: Book One Scandal

    Kenneth Schmitt
    “Photons also are highly conscious beings. They know when they’re being observed, and they know how to get to where they’re going, regardless of obstacles. If there is a pathway or many, the photon will know them all instantaneously and use them all. It exists in the quantum state and can be in more than one place at the same time. Its awareness is unlimited. It can synchronize itself with the quantum state of the universe.”
