Quote by Rachel Joyce

“I actually hate Christmas," says Eileen. "Everybody has this idea you have to have a good time, like happiness comes in a ruddy packet." Her face is flushed with heat. "One time, I stayed in bed all day. That was one of my best Christmases.”

“Sensations were completely different. Like the night she had run free as the wolf, Savannah now had the senses of a bird of prey. Her vision was sharp and clear, her eyes enormously wide. She spread her wings experimentally, then flapped them in the light drizzle. They were much bigger than she had anticipated. It delighted her, and she flapped them harder so she could create a wind, causing waves in the water standing in the patio. Are you having fun? Gregori’s voice held a hint of laughter. This is so cool, lifemate, she answered. Her rapidly beating wings lifted her into the air. The light mist was already passing overhead. The air was warm and heavy with the promise of moisture, but she soared high, reveling in her ability to do so. Gregori’s larger, stronger body dropped over hers, close and protective, guiding her in the direction of the bayou. As high up as they were, the sharp eyes of the raptor could spot the smallest of movements below. Details were vivid and clear. Even colors were different. Infrared vision, heat sensors— Savannah wasn’t certain what it was exactly, but the way she perceived the world was a different and unique experience. She dipped beneath Gregori and soared away from him, turning sideways and circling high above him. In her mind she could hear him swearing. As always he sounded arrogant, elegant, Old World, completely in command. Laughing, she caught a thermal and rode it up over the river. The male dropped down to cover her with his huge wings, fencing her in. Spoilsport! she accused him, her touch in his mind a whisper of lightness, of invitation to join in her fun. You are in a great deal of trouble, ma femme. He knew the threat was empty when he made it; he would give her the world. But why did she have to be such a little dare-devil all the time? Anyone choosing to live with you would have to have a sense of adventure, don’t you think? Her soft laughter played over his skin like music, like the gentle breeze blowing from the mountains in their homeland. Even within the bird’s body, he stirred to life, need and hunger rising to become a part of him. Relentless. Demanding. Savage in its intensity. It was more than simple lust. More than hunger. More than need. It was all of it merged together with a tenderness he had never conceived he could feel. When she was at her most outrageous, her most defiant, that was when his heart melted.”

“Civilization on Earth planet was equated with selfishness and greed; those people who lived in a civilized state exploited those who did not. There were shortages of vital commodities on Earth planet, and the people in the civilized nations were able to monopolize those commodities by reason of their greater economic strength. This imbalance appeared to be at the root of the disputes.”

“The Hendrith Business Ideation Framework is a five-step process designed to help entrepreneurs and business leaders generate and develop successful business ideas. The framework begins by emphasizing the importance of establishing a value basis for the product or service, ensuring it offers genuine value to the customer. Next, it highlights the need to estimate the market, including identifying the target audience and evaluating their willingness to pay. The third step focuses on imagining efficient delivery, which involves determining if the business can effectively and profitably deliver the product or service to the market. The fourth step involves evaluating the profitability of the proposed idea, ensuring it can generate revenue and sustain the business. Finally, the framework concludes with execution, where the idea is put into action and brought to market, requiring capital, a robust strategy, and actionable steps.”

“When someone points out something wrong. Instead of correcting it. We are choosing to compare it with other wrong things done before to justify it. We seem to ignore or to forget that it doesn’t make it any right either. Instead, we are pointing two wrong things that had been done that needs to be corrected. If something wrong was done by someone before and they got away with it. It doesn’t justify you to do the wrong thing to. We have so many problems today , problematic people and systems, because instead of producing a solution. We choose to compare the problems, the pain, suffering , abuse , trauma, rape, violation, offence, assault, corruption , fraud, crime , system, and problematic people. Instead of listening, analyzing, and coming up with a solution . We don’t correct the wrong things, instead we compare them to other wrong things to make them correct. Yet we know two wrongs don’t make one right.”
