Joan Borysenko“We emerge into the light not by denying our pain, but by walking through it.”
Joan Borysenko“Perhaps the hardest lesson to learn is not to be attached to the results of your actions.”
Joan Borysenko“There is a nearly unerring, unconscious radar that zeros in on relationships that repeat our childhood experiences.”
Joan Borysenko, Guilt is the Teacher, Love is the Lesson“In the stories Joan wrote when she was Daniel’s age, she had murdered her characters, while Daniel had his one character facing down dangers and searching for answers. The genesis of the stories was clear to her: because Daniel felt loved and safe within his family, he could imagine himself taking risks, venturing out onto figurative limbs. He was lucky, Joan thought. She had only felt loved and safe within the worlds she created.”
Cherise Wolas, The Resurrection of Joan Ashby“I, Joan Crawford, I believe in the dollar. Everything I earn, I spend.”

G.K. Chesterton, All Things Considered“We've got so much in this life that all we know how to do is want more. So we concentrate on the wrong things--things we can see--as being the measure of a person. We think if we win something big or buy something snazzy it'll make us more than we are. Our hearts know that's not true, but the eyes are powerful. It's easier to fix on what we can see than listen to the still, small voice of a whispering heart.”
