The only thing we should scream into the world is love.

They say you can tell a lot about a country by the way it treats its prisoners…I believe the same can be said for how a country treats its children

He who would arrive at the appointed end must follow a single road and not wander through many ways.

I worry about you Bev. I worry a lot.
