“Giff waited out the storm, admiring — and certainly not for the first time — Hugo's gift for shredding a man's character thoroughly and at length without pausing even once to think of the right word.”

“I have been selected to design and administer these unique initiatives because of my prior experience and effectiveness. Past success breeds repeat performances. … What is important are the personality and character traits needed to stand up to criticism and stress, and to labor effectively in a very emotional vineyard—empathy and sensitivity to the plight of those singled out for special consideration; confidence and firmness towards critics. I turn the other cheek when face-to-face with distraught victims or a businessman challenging my pay decisions. Life's unfairness is usually the real source of their anger. The nature of the compensation received is secondary. But a strategic retreat is not an option when critics attack. Self-confidence and firmness become virtues. You cannot allow yourself to be bullied when you are trying to administer a complex policy experiment. The public is usually supportive, appreciative of the difficulty of the task.”

“We dont know much about gods characteristics. However. We can deduce specific traits by observing gods creation. For starters, creativity. There is also a kind of seriousness, with firm natural laws. Serious or not, god has a special kind of humor. And since the world is filled with drama, god might not care about us to the level that we tell ourselves, either that or god, just like us, search for entertainment. Sadly many other emotions and traits are forever left to our imagination.”

“The Wholeness Sonnet Free will is not a question of willpower, It is a question of character. Civilization is not a question of etiquette, It is a question of behavior. Order is not a question of law, It is a question of accountability. Harmony is not a question of toleration, It is a question of inclusivity. Peace is not a question of diplomacy, It is a question of nonsectarianism. Progress is not a question of revenue, It is a question of collectivism. When the heart is whole all's well with society. Fragmentation fills the sky with disparity.”
