Soul Quotes
-

"The flowers have appeared in our land: the time of pruning is come: the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land."

Society can and does execute its own mandates: and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with it ought not to meddle, it practices a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression, since, though not usually upheld by such extreme penalties, it leaves fewer means of escape, penetrating much more deeply into the details of life, and enslaving the soul itself.

Orson Scott Card -
After every storm the sun will smile; for every problem there is a solution, and the soul's indefeasible duty is to be of good cheer.
