So do we get our light. So all that was great in the past was ridiculed, condemned, combated, suppressed – only to emerge all the more powerfully, all the more triumphantly from the struggle.” ~ Nikola Tesla

One of the big problems with marriages in the nineties: no room for two husbands.” ~ Karen Salmansohn

Therefore I’m homeless.” ~ Margaret Atwood
