“Not to mention my grandparents’ generation grew up in the Depression and World War II and didn’t have the ability to teach what they did not know.

― Jonathan Van Ness, Over the Top

“Stand back, for safety, and also because—this is a very basic physics principle that, sometimes, still escapes us—when people exit the small space, there is more room for you and others to enter the small space, so let them flow out before you flow in. You will get there. You will.”
― Kelly Williams Brown, Gracious: A Practical Primer on Charm, Tact, and Unsinkable Strength
