“From the first day I met her, she was the only woman to me. Every day of that voyage I loved her more, and many a time since have I kneeled down in the darkness of the night watch and kissed the deck of that ship because I knew her dear feet had trod it. She was never engaged to me. She treated me as fairly as ever a woman treated a man. I have no complaint to make. It was all love on my side, and all good comradeship and friendship on hers. When we parted she was a free woman, but I could never again be a free man.”

“Pick a leader who will keep jobs in your country by offering companies incentives to hire only within their borders, not one who allows corporations to outsource jobs for cheaper labor when there is a national employment crisis. Choose a leader who will invest in building bridges, not walls. Books, not weapons. Morality, not corruption. Intellectualism and wisdom, not ignorance. Stability, not fear and terror. Peace, not chaos. Love, not hate. Convergence, not segregation. Tolerance, not discrimination. Fairness, not hypocrisy. Substance, not superficiality. Character, not immaturity. Transparency, not secrecy. Justice, not lawlessness. Environmental improvement and preservation, not destruction. Truth, not lies.”

“Pick a leader who will not only bail out banks and airlines, but also families from losing their homes -- or jobs due to their companies moving to other countries. Pick a leader who will fund schools, not limit spending on education and allow libraries to close. Pick a leader who chooses diplomacy over war. An honest broker in foreign relations. A leader with integrity, one who says what they mean, keeps their word and does not lie to their people. Pick a leader who is strong and confident, yet humble. Intelligent, but not sly. A leader who encourages diversity, not racism. One who understands the needs of the farmer, the teacher, the doctor, and the environmentalist -- not only the banker, the oil tycoon, the weapons developer, or the insurance and pharmaceutical lobbyist.”

“What if the problem isn't that we don't own enough stuff or aren't managing our stuff well enough? What if the problem is that we're living in the homes that advertisers and retailers want us to have instead of the homes that deep down we really want and need?”

“Maybe you've moved too many times, or maybe you wish a move were in your future. Maybe you are renting and wish you weren't; maybe you are upside-down in a mortgage you don't want and can't move. Maybe you love where you are but feel like you aren't doing it justice with your decorating skills, Maybe you are waiting on that next house so you can finally start enjoying where you are.
The dream house isn't the answer.
The answer is a gift in disguise.”

“... I've figured out what most often holds us back from creating a beautiful, meaningful home on purpose.
It's not money.
It's not lack of creativity.
It's not that we don't have the time.
It's not that someone else is stopping us.
All those things come into play. But what is our biggest hurdle?
Fear.
We put off making decisions, hesitate to commit to a paint color, dream about trying that DIY project but worry we'd mess it all up.”

“The Nail Hole Diaries
I didn't realize... how terrified some women are of devaluing their homes by making a nail hole in the wall. Part of me wants to scream, "It's a ding-a-ling nail hole in the wall! Is there anything in life less risky that creating a one-millimeter hole in a wall that can be filled with your finger and some putty in two seconds?" A nail hole is the easiest repair.”

“This was, by comparison, a safe, secure, clean world. And looking at it, she thought it must be rather pleasant to be able to live anywhere you wanted to, just so you could pay the rent, instead of having to find out first whether it was a place where colored people were permitted to live.”

“For some reason, though there is neither a steeple nor stained glass, the house reminds him of a church. He takes that impression seriously. He thinks it possible that ceremonies of innocence, the humble routines and kind sharing of daily existence that give life meaning, when performed often and for long enough, can confer on a house a hallowed quality. He’s known such homes; he has known their opposite, where human depravity has so soiled a structure that an aura of evil shadows every room even when all the lights are lit.”

“The standard of being good and bad?
In our country, this has become a wrong belief, like in the ignorant societies, that whoever Allah gives to, He gives because He is pleased with them. Big bribe takers and criminals get ‘Haza min fadli Rabbi’ engraved on their palaces with the idea that all this is the grace of my Lord upon me. This is completely wrong.”

“Success and failure; Joy and sorrow; Freedom and bondage; Courage and weakness; Love and hate; Fame and obscurity; Faith and unbelief…no matter who we are, or who we were, or how we lived, when our true home comes calling, all of those memories would fade out as if they never existed.”
