“The world has enough women that are tough; We need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; We need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude, We need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; We need more women of faith. We have enough greed; We need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; We need more purity.”
-Margaret D Nadalud
“I read once that the ancient Egyptians had 50 words for sand & the Eskimos had 100 words for snow. I wish I had 1000 words for love, but all that comes to mind is the way you move against me while you sleep, and there are no words for that.”
-Bryan Andreas, Story People
