We develop the ability to think in new ways, and this stimulates creative change in all areas of our lives. ~ Lenore Thomson

Not from Lenore through the lies of the Rat, not from Dr. Beau through the courage of Sarah and her brother. [...] She wanted to be the one who rescued her own self. [...] Wishing would not make it so, nor would blame, but thinking might. If she did not respect herself, why should anybody else? ~ Toni Morrison
