But you make of it [life] what you can, and you do your best to enjoy the hell out of it, because it's the only life you get. — Jill Shalvis

What a failure her life had been. Would she have lied to God if she'd had more faith, been more righteous? How could she possibly have a son at her age? And yet, if she had believed all along . . . — Jill Eileen Smith

Another longstanding foreign policy flaw is the degree to which special interests dictate the way in which the "national interest" as a whole is defined and pursued ...
