And it will be New Orleans, though its memory may be shortened, its self-gaze and eccentricity scoured out so that what's left is a city more like other cities, less insular, less self-regarding, but possibly more self-knowing after today. A city on firmer ground. ~Richard Ford

So what can you do to stop yourself from tilting and falling all over again? ~Amy Tan

#quotes #alan-ball #nature #life #heart
