Quote by Susan Wiggs

“Isabel felt soft and yielding; her blouse felt soft. Everything about her seemed soft, and she smelled of dried flowers, rosemary, fresh baked bread. This whole kitchen seemed alive with a peculiar energy; in the old fixtures and furniture, Tess sensed a place where cooking and eating had happened for decades, where people gathered to sample life's sweetest pleasures.”

“Curse of Spirituality (Sonnet 2537) Why is it that 90% of modern spiritual population are just newage nutters, what's the point in surpassing religious fundamentalism, if you end up being sucked into superstitions with glitter! Why can't you be spiritual without being superstitious, why can't you be religious without being a fundamentalist - the day you could, that's the beginning of civilized spirituality and human religion. I'm not asking for cold, cantankerous logic all the time, all I'm saying is, why does spirituality have to depend on superstition - if your spirituality crumbles without superstition, you were never spiritual, just underdeveloped. There is no spirituality except kindness, there is no religion but service.”

“Young, animated, entirely off your guard, and thoughtless of consequences, Imagination took the reins; and Reason, slow-paced, though sure-footed, was unequal to the race of so eccentric and flighty a companion. How rapid was then my Evelina's progress through those regions of fancy and passion whither her new guide conducted her!-She saw Lord Orville at a ball,-and he was the most amiable of men! -She met him again at another,-and he had every virtue under Heaven!”
