"So far the story is nicely paced and moves fairly swiftly. Passages jump back and forth between 1917 the end of the revolution and 1913 before the changes. Progress remains slow only because of my eye." Sep 12, 2022 09:12PM

Bob Woodward
“The reality was that the United States in 2017 was tethered to the words and actions of an emotionally overwrought, mercurial and unpredictable leader. Members of his staff had joined to purposefully block some of what they believed were the president’s most dangerous impulses. It was a nervous breakdown of the executive power of the most powerful country in the world.”
Bob Woodward, Fear: Trump in the White House

Mark Twain
“When I was a boy of 14, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in seven years.”
Mark Twain

Georgia   Scott
“Love is not a weakness. It's the bravest act of our lives.”
Georgia Scott, American Girl: Memories That Made Me

Sue Grafton
“You can’t save others from themselves because those who make a perpetual muddle of their lives don’t appreciate your interfering with the drama they’ve created. They want your poor-sweet-baby sympathy, but they don’t want to change.”
Sue Grafton, T is for Trespass

“When life gives you lemons, ask for chocolate instead!”
