Jeffrey R. Holland
“With time and perspective we recognize that such problems in life do come for a purpose, if only to allow the one who faces such despair to be convinced that he really does need divine strength beyond himself, that she really does need the offer of heaven’s hand. Those who feel no need for mercy usually never seek it and almost never bestow it. Those who have never had a heartache or a weakness or felt lonely or forsaken never have had to cry unto heaven for relief of such personal pain. Surely it is better to find the goodness of God and the grace of Christ, even at the price of despair, than to risk living our lives in a moral or material complacency that has never felt any need for faith or forgiveness, any need for redemption or relief.”
Jeffery R. Holland

Rick Yancey
“Self-pity is egotism undiluted, after all—self-centeredness in its purest form.”
Rick Yancey, The Monstrumologist

Mother Teresa
“May God break my heart so completely that the whole world falls in.”
Mother Teresa

Lisa Wingate
“I began to see the magic of Jocelyn's horse psychology school. You couldn't put on airs with a horse, as we so often do with people. Horses look through the masks we wear and the things we say. They see who we really are. They gauge our intentions in a thousand invisible ways that have nothing to do with the words we say. They shy away from the barriers of fear, self-centeredness, jealousy, anger, impatience. They are drawn in by kindness, understanding, concern, openness, love.

The thing is, so are people.”
Lisa Wingate, Over the Moon at the Big Lizard Diner

Lionel Shriver
“...some people coddle their own afflictions the way others spoil small pedigreed dogs with cans of pate.”
