It does not take a great supernatural heroine or magical hero to save the world.
We all save it every day, and we all destroy it
in our own small ways
by every choice we make and every tiniest action resulting from that choice.

The world
if it could

And if it does not ... well, a true heroine or hero does not require it. — Vera Nazarian

It is not enough to simply teach children to read;
we have to give them something worth reading.
Something that will stretch their imaginations-

War had given Francis his respite, and success had brought him his final reward: the freedom he wished from his marriage. The licence, if he desired it, to go back to Russia.
