Catherine Aird
“Throw away those books and cassettes on inspirational leadership. Send those consultants packing. Know your job, set a good example for the people under you and put results over politics. That's all the charisma you'll really need to succeed.”

“Every woman and every man is the mother of God when we carry Jesus in our heart and body through a divine love and a pure, sincere conscience. We give birth to Him through a holy activity which must shine as an example before others.”
St. Francis of Assisi (Letter to the Faithful I
“Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love.”
Neil Gaiman
“Considering the situation, they did a good job. It's not that we were horrible (against Hawthorne), but we're not going to overpower anybody.”
Al Wisnoski
“We were horrible. It was downright awful. I don't know how good we are, but we're a whole lot better than we were last year.”
Sylvester Croom
