Anne  Michaud
“The Profumo Affair in 1963 profoundly altered British society. It gave lie to the belief that those born into the ruling class were inherently superior and destined to lead.”
Anne Michaud, Why They Stay: Sex Scandals, Deals, and Hidden Agendas of Nine Political Wives

Nathaniel Hawthorne
“There is something truer and more real, than what we can see with the eyes, and touch with the finger.”
Nathaniel Hawthorne, Rappaccini's Daughter

“You may think you can go out for a night of dancing and innocent fun. Think again. When you head back home, those demons follow you to infiltrate your whole environment.”
John Ramirez, Unmasking the Devil: Strategies to Defeat Eternity's Greatest Enemy

Catherine Marshall
“Living in the middle of beauty like this, we've no call to have puny ideas about God. Why do you suppose His world is so fancy-fine, so full of wonderment if He doesn't want everything to be good and perfect and right and healthy? But we can spoil His good work. When we mess things up, then we shouldn't blame Him and try to make ourselves feel better by contending that it's what He wanted.”
Catherine Marshall, Christy

Milan Kordestani
“We cannot train ourselves to be perfect, but we can ensure we have better intuition when it comes to human behavior.”
Milan Kordestani, I'm Just Saying: A Guide to Maintaining Civil Discourse in an Increasingly Divided World
