I empathize with those who yearn for a simpler world, for some bygone golden age of domestic and international tranquility. But for the mass of humanity it is an age that never was. Prejudice is like a hair across your cheek. You can't see it, you can't find it with your fingers, but you keep brushing at it because the feel of it is irritating. I distrust those people who know so well what God wants because I notice it always coincides with their own desires.
Love involves a peculiar unfathomable combination of understanding and misunderstanding.
Sometimes goals and intentions in life aren't aligned. It's just choices we make in life. It is easier to fight for one's principles than to live up to them. Never let your sense of morals get in the way of doing what's right. A mother understands what a child does not say.
