G.K. Chesterton
“In the matter of reforming things, as distinct from deforming them, there is one plain and simple principle; a principle which will probably be called a paradox. There exists in such a case a certain institution or law; let us say, for the sake of simplicity, a fence or gate erected across a road. The more modern type of reformer goes gaily up to it and says, "I don't see the use of this; let us clear it away." To which the more intelligent type of reformer will do well to answer: "If you don't see the use of it, I certainly won't let you clear it away. Go away and think. Then, when you can come back and tell me that you do see the use of it, I may allow you to destroy it.”
G.K. Chesterton, The Thing: Why I am a Catholic

Alan Hlad
“It wasn't a miracle. You believed. And made it happen.”
Alan Hlad, The Long Flight Home

Marcus Tullius Cicero
“A room without books is like a body without a soul.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero

“Life is about change. If you don't change, you'll never grow.”
Julie Valerie

Laura Esquivel
“It appeared that the two of them had forgotten the most elementary rules of good manners, which tell us that at a social gathering one does not bring up the subject of personalities, sad topics or unfortunate facts, religion, or politics".”
Laura Esquivel, Like Water for Chocolate
