    Lesley Glaister
    “When she entered the sitting room she was not at first noticed. The music had changed now, to something slower, and the women were dancing; Harri’s dark head against the breast of Gwen’s white shirt, Gwen’s hand low on Harri’s back.

    Kenneth Schmitt, Quantum Energetics and Spirituality Volume 1: Aligning with Universal Consciousness

    Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
    “It is so short and jumbled and jangled, Sam, because there is nothing intelligent to say about a massacre. Everybody is supposed to be dead, to never say anything or want anything ever again.

You tell a man he can’t rob and you take away some of his liberty. You’ve got to. What the hell does liberty mean anyhow?”
    Dalton Trumbo, Johnny Got His Gun
