Rebecca Skloot
“Only cells that had been transformed by a virus or a genetic mutation had the potential to become immortal.”
Rebecca Skloot, The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks

“The owner of the Post Office was called Maurice. A sixtyish-year-old with a large red nose that was pebble-dashed with broken capillaries, and a smooth bald head with a fuzz of grey hair around the side like the tide mark on a dirty bath. He had a gruff manner, distrusting eyes and a cough like kicked gravel.”
R.D. Ronald

Francine  Rivers
“But I know Jesus arose. I feel his presence now, here, with me. I see the evidence of his Word everyday. From creation forth, the whole world is witness to God's plan revealed through his Son. From the beginning, he prepared us. In the passing of the seasons; in the way flowers spring forth, die, and drop seeds for life to begin again; in the sunset and sunrise. Jesus' sacrifice is reenacted every day of our lives if we but have the eyes to see.”
Francine Rivers, A Voice in the Wind

K.  Ritz
“If one does not react to gossip, the informer hushes more quickly.”
K. Ritz, Sheever's Journal, Diary of a Poison Master

Jalal ad-Din Muhammad ar-Rumi
“An eye is meant to see things.
The soul is here for its own joy.

A head has one use: For loving a true love.
Feet: To chase after.

Love is for vanishing into the sky. The mind,
for learning what men have done and tried to do.

Mysteries are not to be solved: The eye goes blind
when it only wants to see why.

A lover is always accused of something.
But when he finds his love, whatever was lost
in the looking comes back completely changed.”
Mawlana Jalal-al-Din Rumi, Night and Sleep
