Great Quotes
Belva Davis
Don't be afraid of the space between your dreams and reality. If you can dream it, you can make it so.
Heraclitus
Abundance of knowledge does not teach men to be wise.
Tao Te Ching

Eudora Welty
For the night was not impartial. No, the night loved some more than others, served some more than others.
