Anastacia

“Many of us crucify ourselves between two thieves - regret for the past and fear of the future.”
― Fulton Oursler

“It is such a mysterious place, the land of tears.”
― Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

“Every day people are straying away from the church and going back to God.”
― Lenny Bruce

“There are people everywhere who form a Fourth World, or a diaspora of their own.

They are the lordly ones! They come in all colors.

They can be Christians or Hindus or Muslims or Jews or pagans or atheists.

They can be young or old, men or women, soldiers or pacifists, rich or poor.

They may be patriots, but they are never chauvinists.

They share with each other, across all the nations, common values of humor and understanding.

When you are among them you know you will not be mocked or resented, because they will not care about your race, your faith, your sex or your nationality, and they suffer fools if not gladly, at least sympathetically.

They laugh easily. They are easily grateful. They are never mean.

They are not inhibited by fashion, public opinion, or political correctness.

They are exiles in their own communities, because they are always in a minority, but they form a mighty nation, if they only knew it.

It is the nation of nowhere.”
― Jan Morris
