You know that quilt you are making at school? Each child makes a square, correct?"
"Yes," I said.
"And none of you knows what the other squares will look like. Perhaps that is the way God works. We are each like one of the squares. We choose how our own square will look, we choose the colour, the design, all of that. But when we are put in with the other squares we might be in the middle, at the edge, make the whole look one way or another. ... And it's when we interact with all the other squares that the unexpected can happen. And it can change the way our square is viewed. ... It's a mixture of our choices and God's choices. And it all makes a pattern, but only God can see the big pattern. ~ Carol Matas

- Ruth Mendenberg ~ Carol Matas

- Ruth ~ Carol Matas
Carol Matas quotes by Carol Matas
We are alive. We are human, with good and bad in us. That's all we know for sure. We can't create a new species or a new world. That's been done. Now we have to live within those boundaries . What are our choices? We can despair and curse, and change nothing. We can choose evil like our enemies have done and create a world based on hate. Or we can try to make things better. ~ Carol Matas
Carol Matas quotes by Carol Matas
As for sex. Well, of course I could've had sex. Guys will have sex with a watermelon if they're desperate enough. Lots of girls try to prove their love by having sex. It only proves they're having sex. ~ Carol Matas

Deep inside me something says don't feel anything, go back to sleep, when you feel, it hurts. When you love, people die.

Carol Matas quotes by Carol Matas
And the thought consoled me, as it does now: everything you believe you have imagined is real. You have only to outlive it. ~ Joyce Carol Oates
Carol Matas quotes by Joyce Carol Oates
I came into a strong organization, and I hope I strengthened it more and expanded its capacity to deal with some of the challenges that might not have seemed as great 10 years ago, such as H.I.V., AIDS and children affected by war. ~ Carol Bellamy
Carol Matas quotes by Carol Bellamy
You can build a whole world around the tiniest of touches. ~ Carol Rifka Brunt
Carol Matas quotes by Carol Rifka Brunt
For example, UNICEF works with governments to change legislation such as in India where a law was passed raising the age of compulsory school completion to keep children in school and away from the workplace for longer. ~ Carol Bellamy
Carol Matas quotes by Carol Bellamy
My grandmother and I followed my mother here, to a house a block north of Hollywood Boulevard but a million miles away from Hollywood, if you know what I mean. We would hang out behind the ropes and look at the movie stars arriving at the premieres. ~ Carol Burnett
Carol Matas quotes by Carol Burnett
To be knocked out doesn't mean what it seems. A boxer does not have to get up. ~ Joyce Carol Oates
Carol Matas quotes by Joyce Carol Oates
He chose The Metamorphosis over The Trial, he chose Bartleby over Moby-Dick, he chose A Simple Heart over Bouvard and Pécuchet, and A Christmas Carol over A Tale of Two Cities or The Pickwick Papers. What a sad paradox, thought Amalfitano. Now even bookish pharmacists are afraid to take on the great, imperfect, torrential works, books that blaze paths into the unknown. They choose the perfect exercises of the great masters. Or what amounts to the same thing: they want to watch the great masters spar, but they have no interest in real combat, when the great masters struggle against that something, that something that terrifies us all, that something that cows us and spurs us on, amid blood and mortal wounds and stench. ~ Roberto Bolano
Carol Matas quotes by Roberto Bolano
The hardest times for me were not when people challenged what I said, but when I felt my voice was not heard. ~ Carol Gilligan
Carol Matas quotes by Carol Gilligan
That grey area between what we know and what we think we know. ~ Carol Mason
Carol Matas quotes by Carol Mason
Don't judge. Teach. It's a learning process. ~ Carol S. Dweck
Carol Matas quotes by Carol S. Dweck
Oh, child, there's no explainin' the meanness in this world." Armetta shakes her head, wipes wetness off her cheek, then cradles my hands in her palms. "But there's goodness here, too. You can't never lose sight of that, hold on to it. It's the goodness that gets us through. ~ Susan Carol McCarthy
Carol Matas quotes by Susan Carol McCarthy
Open a book this minute and start reading. Don't move until you've reached page fifty. Until you've buried your thoughts in print. Cover yourself with words. Wash yourself away. Dissolve. ~ Carol Shields
Carol Matas quotes by Carol Shields
I very much enjoyed doing 'Law & Order,' playing a killer - that was fun, and they had a family feel around the set, so it was a happy show to do even though the subject matter was quite the opposite. ~ Carol Burnett
Carol Matas quotes by Carol Burnett
...but what I am not interested in, Ms. Clipboard- or Mr. Canker or Mrs. Murmur or Call-me-Carol, all of you- is your questions; even your pointing and tipping Enoch pencils have six sides, my dear definers: pay heed whereon you pinch!; I am interested, almost exclusively, in being interested, and your reductivist probings are only intended to cordon off wings of my mansion; ~ Evan Dara
Carol Matas quotes by Evan Dara
they would get praise for taking initiative, for seeing a difficult task through, for struggling and learning something new, for being undaunted by a setback, or for being open to and acting on criticism. ~ Carol S. Dweck
Carol Matas quotes by Carol S. Dweck
On the elusive gift of blending austerity of craft with elasticity of allure. ~ Joyce Carol Oates
Carol Matas quotes by Joyce Carol Oates
Most people have the wrong idea about me because I've been very private. ~ Carol Vorderman
Carol Matas quotes by Carol Vorderman
It's for you to decide whether change is right for you right now. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. But either way keep the growth mindset in your thoughts then when you bump up against obstacles you can turn to it, it will always be there for you showing you a path into the future. ~ Carol S. Dweck
Carol Matas quotes by Carol S. Dweck
I am a film buff. ~ Carol Lynley
Carol Matas quotes by Carol Lynley
But I didn't ask to have somebody nose around in my private life. I didn't even ask to be famous. All I asked was to be able to earn a living making people laugh. ~ Carol Burnett
Carol Matas quotes by Carol Burnett
In September 1999, the Department of Justice succeeded in denaturalizing 63 participants in Nazi acts of persecution; and in removing 52 such individuals from this country. This appears to be but a small portion of those who actually were brought here by our own government. A 1999 report to the Senate and the House said "that between 1945 and 1955, 765 scientists, engineers, and technicians were brought to the United States under Overcast, Paperclip, and similar programs. It has been estimated that at least half, and perhaps as many as 80 percent of all the imported specialists were former Nazi Party members."

A number of these scientists were recruited to work for the Air Force's School of Aviation Medicine (SAM) at Brooks Air Force Base in Texas, where dozens of human radiation experiments were conducted during the Cold War. Among them were flash-blindness studies in connection with atomic weapons tests and data gathering for total-body irradiation studies conducted in Houston. The experiments for which Nazi investigators were tried included many related to aviation research. Hubertus Strughold, called "the father of space medicine," had a long career at the SAM, including the recruitment of other Paperclip scientists in Germany. On September 24, 1995 the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported that as head of Nazi Germany's Air Force Institute for Aviation Medicine, Strughold particpated in a 1942 conference that discussed "experiments" on human beings. The experimen ~ Carol Rutz
Carol Matas quotes by Carol Rutz
There are so many opportunities that I could've gotten before if I had just took a little more of a risk. ~ Carol Leifer
Carol Matas quotes by Carol Leifer
We gardeners are healthy, joyous, natural creatures. We are practical, patient, optimistic. We declare our optimism every year, every season, with every act of planting. ~ Carol Deppe
Carol Matas quotes by Carol Deppe
A jury is as bright as the dumbest member of the jury ~ Joyce Carol Oates
Carol Matas quotes by Joyce Carol Oates
Not only weren't they discouraged by failure, they didn't even think they were failing. They thought they were learning. ~ Carol S. Dweck
Carol Matas quotes by Carol S. Dweck
The fact is that the diversity in this political class serves the same interest as diversity in any arena, which is it stirs the competitive pot. ~ Carol Moseley Braun
Carol Matas quotes by Carol Moseley Braun
When Crystal May woke up the next morning, she felt like she'd died and gone to heaven. She rolled over on her back, her sleepy eyes blinking in the sunlight. The window curtains were frilly and feminine, softening the light and making her feel protected from the world outside. It was mighty late, but she didn't care. Just lying there in the warm, golden light made her feel so good. She was safe here. She could feel it right down to her bones. ~ Carol Storm
Carol Matas quotes by Carol Storm
Everybody hates to edit my film. Back in the day, we called it film - now, my digital cards. But I shoot an awful lot of pictures. I don't want to hesitate, because I believe the moment is everything in a picture. So, I take the pictures. ~ Carol Guzy
Carol Matas quotes by Carol Guzy
I think about the story of Job I heard in Carol Sharp's Sunday school. How he sort of learned to lean into feeling hurt at the end, the way you might lean into a heavy wind that almost winds up supporting you after a while. ~ Mary Karr
Carol Matas quotes by Mary Karr
As a writer, the worst thing you can do is work in an environment of fear of rejection. ~ Carol Leifer
Carol Matas quotes by Carol Leifer
I love my cameras. I love contact sheets. I love the visceral thing of film and I'm not positive that I can replicate my lighting digitally. My assistants tell me I can, but, just stubborn I guess. ~ Carol Friedman
Carol Matas quotes by Carol Friedman
The act of sending a letter is an act of generosity, even if, in retrospect, it might seem reckless. Why regret one's generosity? Why regret one's impulsiveness, one's misjudgment of others? The inevitable discovery that someone is selling letters you'd written in trust is simply to discover an obvious human truth: there are those who don't cherish us as we'd cherished them, and had wished to be cherished by them. ~ Joyce Carol Oates
Carol Matas quotes by Joyce Carol Oates
He looked so vulnerable and fallible, his shoulders slumped, his head down, that Carol's impulses overrode the decision she'd taken only minutes before to play it cool. She stepped forward and pulled Tony into a tight hug. 'If anyone can do it, you can,' she whispered against his chin like a cat marking its territory. ~ Val McDermid
Carol Matas quotes by Val McDermid
Marianne laughed. But you can't disappoint me! I don't love you. ~ Joyce Carol Oates
Carol Matas quotes by Joyce Carol Oates
At a time when politics deals in distortions and half truths, truth is to be found in the liberal arts. There's something afoot in this country and you are very much a part of it. ~ Joyce Carol Oates
Carol Matas quotes by Joyce Carol Oates
Then, as she twisted to the right, she revealed her talking partner. I literally broke step, my body deciding before my brain that my presence would not be needed in their interaction. Carol was gorgeous. A tall, confident, amazon of a woman. The lines of her gold lamay dress skimming every curve of her body. She was clearly not wearing underwear. She looked like a glossy magazine perfume ad. And this man was her magazine equal. He was perfect. Tall. Substantial. He looked muscular without giving the impression that he worked out. Maybe he was a rower. Or it could be tennis. Maybe he chopped down trees. Yes, he'd be very good at chopping trees down. I remember feeling an unnaturally strong desire to watch him do that. ~ Catherine Steadman
Carol Matas quotes by Catherine Steadman
Time and chance. The twin offspring of destiny. That wondrous branching of our fates. ~ Carol Shields
Carol Matas quotes by Carol Shields
Ever wonder why your cat jumps on the lap of the guest that doesn't like cats?

It is because people who don't like cats will do things cats like during greetings.

They squint their eyes, turn their heads and avoid direct contact with the cat. The cat's view is these people are saying hello and being non-threatening, and, sure enough, he ends up on their lap. ~ Carol Griglione
Carol Matas quotes by Carol Griglione

Always start from hope ~ Carol Wolper
Carol Matas quotes by Carol Wolper
Why should I want what's good for me?' Beatrice asked him, smiling. 'Is that what you want for yourself - only what's good for you? ~ Joyce Carol Oates
Carol Matas quotes by Joyce Carol Oates
Nothing comes of so many things, if you have patience. ~ Joyce Carol Oates
Carol Matas quotes by Joyce Carol Oates
There is comfort in such accumulations, layers of lives, of years. Gardening tools, wheelbarrow, arousal cans, old bicycles, recycling bins, battered trash cans, cardboard boxes stacked in a corner, cracked clay pots, exiled kitchenware & furniture, antique television, dog food bowls. You could do an inventory of a household by all that has been worn out or excluded, exiled from it. You could do an inventory of a life. ~ Joyce Carol Oates
Carol Matas quotes by Joyce Carol Oates
When Do You Feel Smart: When You're Flawless or When You're Learning? ~ Carol S. Dweck
Carol Matas quotes by Carol S. Dweck
The Convention is not only a visionary document. We are reminded daily that it is an agreement that works - and its utility can be seen in the everyday use to which I have seen it increasingly being put by country after country, in policy, in practice and in law. ~ Carol Bellamy
