David Campton David Campton said: " A lot of facts, that even a history geek like me didn't know, packed into this short booklet. A couple of frustrating errors, probably due to editing (suggesting that Henry VIII's break with the Catholic church was due to lack of children with Cather ...more "

Hilary Mantel
“The lawyer's world is entire unto itself, the human pared away.”
Hilary Mantel, Bring Up the Bodies

C.S. Lewis
“It comes the very moment you wake up each morning. All your wishes and hopes for the day rush at you like wild animals. And the first job each morning consists simply in shoving them all back; in listening to that other voice, taking that other point of view, letting that other larger, stronger, quieter life come flowing in. And so on, all day. Standing back from all your natural fussings and frettings; coming in out of the wind.”
C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Ayn Rand
“If you don't know, the thing to do is not to get scared, but to learn.”
Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

Hilary Mantel
“The things you think are the disasters in your life are not the disasters really. Almost anything can be turned around: out of every ditch, a path, if you can only see it.”
Hilary Mantel, Bring Up the Bodies

Annie Dillard
“On the whole, I do not find Christians, outside of the catacombs, sufficiently sensible of conditions. Does anyone have the foggiest idea what sort of power we so blithely invoke? Or, as I suspect, does no one believe a word of it? The churches are children playing on the floor with their chemistry sets, mixing up a batch of TNT to kill a Sunday morning. It is madness to wear ladies’ straw hats and velvet hats to church; we should all be wearing crash helmets. Ushers should issue life preservers and signal flares; they should lash us to our pews. For the sleeping god may wake someday and take offense, or the waking god may draw us out to where we can never return. ”
Annie Dillard
