Writing is finally about one thing: going into a room alone and doing it. Putting words on paper that have never been there in quite that way before.

No matter how diamond-bright your ideas are dancing in your brain, on paper they are earthbound.

~ William Kent Krueger

I can say that I am only human and I have made mistakes. I can say that I try to live my life in the most true, honest way that I can. I am not perfect, no one is. No one is harder on me than me. No one can please everyone. No one can live in the past and expect to grow. I have been moving forward and hope that I am not defined by just a few moments in my life but all of the moments that will make up my life.
~ Chris Brown
Sometimes you don't look for perfect. Sometimes enough is the most you can hope for.
~ Christina Baker Kline
No political system or economic order can ever be regarded as the full, or even as an adequate, realization of justice. All human social structures and centers of power are denied ultimate significance. Every human attempt to create justice, when measured against the perfect justice of God's coming kingdom, is inescapably partial and limited.
~ Christopher D. Marshall
