QUOTE FOR THE EVENING:
"The Mother Superior opened the parlor door, but as she was going out she hesitated. Once more she gave Kitty a long, searching, and sagacious look. Then she laid her hand gently on her arm.
'You know, my dear child, that one cannot find peace in work or in pleasure, in the world or in a convent, but only in one's soul.'
Kitty gave a little start, but the Mother Superior passed swiftly out."
-W. Somerset Maugham, The Painted Veil
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
-The Dutch Ten Commandments to Foil the Nazis
