“Passers-by probably thought them a pair of harmless lunatics, for they entirely forgot to hail a bus, and strolled leisurely along, oblivious of deepening dusk and fog.

― Louisa May Alcott, Little Women

“I think the human heart’s a mystery only God knows the answer to.”

“Father Don Cannon claimed people came into the world with much of their spirit already formed.

― William Kent Krueger, The Devil's Bed

“Prejudice, a dirty word, and faith, a clean one, have something in common: they both begin where reason ends.”
― Harper Lee, Go Set a Watchman
