“Most of my life I’ve felt was dreaming. Now and then I wake up, sometimes for months, sometimes for minutes. Tonight I’m awake, and I lie thinking about the recent events and the people whose lives have crossed mine like veins in an old woman’s hands. Their faces float past…the twisted and the lame...the strong…the loving…for we are all twisted and lame, strong and loving.”
― Patricia Harman, The Midwife of Hope River

“No matter who they are or what they’ve done, when you hear someone’s story you see him or her differently.”
― Patricia Harman, The Midwife of Hope River

“I never touched a brown hand before today, but my daddy told me that there isn’t no difference. He said we’re all the same under the skin, same blood, same heart.”
― Patricia Harman, The Reluctant Midwife

“Overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now.”
― Richard Bach, Jonathan Livingston Seagull
