“In Henry David Thoreau’s Walden, written during his year in a one-room cabin with few possessions, is this quote: “The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life that is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.”
Susan Scott, Fierce Conversations: Achieving Success at Work and in Life One Conversation at a Time

“It is not about forgetting but about not letting the past define you. It is about learning from it and embracing its role as your lifetime teacher.”
Maria Nhambu, America's Daughter

Joseph Campbell
“Whether you call someone a hero or a monster is all relative to where the focus of your consciousness may be.”
Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth

Behcet Kaya
“Mr. Hooks?”
“Mr. Ludefance? Pleasure to meet you and thank you for coming in.”
As he extended his hand to me, I noticed the girl at the desk staring at my face. Hooks looked back at her staring and must have given her a look of some kind.
“Mr. Ludefance, this is my secretary, Cholia.”
She stood up and continued to stare at my scar. Black hair, cute face, maybe five-foot-four at the most, and a little on the plump side with rosy cheeks. Young. Very young. Looked like a teenager to me. Or was I just getting ‘older?”
Behcet Kaya, Appellate Judge
