Endearment.

Sunday Inspiration.     Post by David Joel Miller.

― Bertolt Brecht

“It’s funny how once you like someone, even the unattractive things they do somehow become endearing.”

― Jasmine Warga, My Heart and Other Black Holes

—Tybalt”

― Seanan McGuire, A Local Habitation

Demure.

Sunday Inspiration.     Post by David Joel Miller.

“Truth is a demure lady, much too ladylike to knock you on your head and drag you to her cave. She is there, but people must want her, and seek her out.”

― William F. Buckley Jr.

“Bewildering. If it was truly in woman’s nature to be an ever demure and pleasant sunbeam in the gloom, why then, it took an awful lot of ink and instructions to keep reminding woman of this nature of hers…”

― Evie Dunmore, A Rogue of One’s Own

“Oregon is demure, and lovely, and it ought to play a little hard to get.”

― Tom McCall

“most Americans think of Rosa Parks as a demur, pleasant-enough seamstress who backed into history by being too tired to get out of her seat on a bus one day, in reality she had been trained in nonviolence spirit and tactics at a famous institution, Highlander Folk School. It seems to be a difficult concept for most of us that peace is a skill that can be learned. We know war can be learned, but we seem to think that one becomes a peacemaker by a mere change of heart. (23)”

― Mahatma Gandhi

Sunday Inspiration.     Post by David Joel Miller.

“There are some things we do because we convince ourselves it would be better for everyone involved. We tell ourselves that it’s the right thing to do, the altruistic thing to do. It’s far easier than telling ourselves the truth.”

― Jodi Picoult, My Sister’s Keeper

“Any altruistic system is inherently unstable, because it is open to abuse by selfish individuals, ready to exploit it.”

― Richard Dawkins, The Selfish Gene

“We fail to reckon with the reality of human nature. By nature, we are egocentric. Our world revolves around us. None of us is totally altruistic.”

― Gary Chapman, The Five Love Languages: The Secret to Love that Lasts
