I want to be better about keeping records of those things that inspire me.

"Faith is not a thing one 'loses,' we merely cease to shape our lives by it . . ." (Georges Bernanos)

"I believe a strong woman may be stronger than a man, particularly if she happens to have love in her heart. I guess a loving woman is indestructible." (East of Eden)
