    S.W. Clemens
    “Each day a whole world passes away, largely unappreciated, numbly relegated to obligation, commerce and routine. One day seems as unremarkable as the next. It's only through the inexorable accretion of days, weeks, months and years, that we come to appreciate with heartbreaking clarity how incredibly unique and precious each lost day has been.”

    Rick Mystrom
    “How We Gain and Lose Weight
    To understand how we gain and lose weight, we need to start with insulin. Medical researchers and internal medicine doctors almost universally agree that the amount of insulin a person produces determines weight gain and weight loss. For example, Gary Taubes, a medical researcher and recipient of multiple awards from the National Association of Science Writers, refers to insulin as “the stop-and-go light of weight gain and loss.” 
     
    Produce more insulin—you will gain weight. Produce less insulin— you will lose weight.”

    Mildred D. Taylor
    “Biting the hand that feeds you, that's what you're doing Mary Logan, biting the hand that feeds you.'
    Again Mama laughed, 'If that's the case, Daisy, I don't think I need that little bit of food.'
    With the second book finished, she stared at a small pile of second grade books on her desk.
    'Well, I just think you're spoiling those children, Mary. They've got to learn how things are sometime.'
    'Maybe so,' said Mama. 'But that doesn't mean they have to accept them. And maybe we don't either.”
