so I'll let a few authors speak for me.
"Oliver slept late and no one woke him as it was Sunday. He came down at nine fifteen, hungry as a wolf, and indulged in a waffle orgy. Randy sat beside him to keep him company, though she herself was waffle-logged by that time."
"'If there was only one tree like that in the world, you would think it was beautiful,' said Katie. 'But because there are so many, you just can't see how beautiful it really is.'"

Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
"'...and I thought, as I often have, how many people a person is! A human being is more many-sided than a prism; he has sides he shows the world, sides he only shows to special others, sides he doesn't know he shows to others, sides he doesn't even guess he has. No, nobody is simple, no matter how he'd like to be.'"
Elizabeth Enright, "Morgan's Rest"
"She knew the general principles of life - that compromise wins respect from no one, but a straightforward testimony does."
Isobel Kuhn, By Searching
"People would say, 'If you had enough faith, your daughter would be healed.' That had the opposite effect of what they intended. Instead of looking to God, it put our eyes on ourselves, trying to drum up faith."
