Stephen Colbert
“If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it.”
Stephen Colbert

Anne Brontë
“It is better to arm and strengthen your hero, than to disarm and enfeeble your foe.”
Anne Brontë

Lorraine Hansberry
“There is always something left to love. And if you ain’t learned that, you ain’t learned nothing.”
Lorraine Hansberry

Annie Proulx
“You should write because you love the shape of stories and sentences and the creation of different words on a page. Writing comes from reading, and reading is the finest teacher of how to write.”
Annie Proulx

Anne Rice
“You do have a story inside you; it lies articulate and waiting to be written — behind your silence and your suffering.”
Anne Rice
