“The best thing about being authentic is that there is no image to maintain. You will delight some and disturb others, and none of it will concern the truth of your being.”

 

“The thought brought a ghost of a smile to his lips. Winter evoked primordial feelings of seeking shelter and fire. The realization of the unforgiving side of mother nature wrapping icy fingers into one’s soul.”

― Jaime Allison Parker, River at the World's End
