It was as if Snape had started handing out sweets. ~J. K. Rowling
#quotes #j-k-rowling #snape

All life is rife with possibilities. Seeds have possibilities, but all their tomorrows are caught by the patterning of their life cycle. Animals have possibilities that are greater than that of a fir tree or a blade of grass. Still, though, for most animals, the pattern of instinct, the patterns of their lives, are very strong. Humanity has a far greater range of possibilities, especially the very young. Who will children grow up to be? Who will they marry, what will they believe, what will they create? Creation is a very powerful seed of possibility. ~Patricia Briggs

#quotes #sarah-lacy #economy #china

There is no racial or ethnic involvement in Thanksgiving, and people who may be very distant from the Christian system can see the beauty and the positive spirit that comes from the holiday. ~John Clayton

We live in a world of things, and our only connection with them is that we know how to manipulate or to consume them. ~Erich Fromm

No brilliance is needed in the law. Nothing but common sense, and relatively clean finger nails. ~John Mortimer
