“The systems of stereotypes may be the core of our personal tradition, the defenses of our position in society. They are an ordered more or less consistent picture of the world, to which our habits, our tastes, our capacities, our comforts and our hopes have adjusted themselves. They may not be a complete picture of the world, but they are a picture of a possible world to which we are adapted. In that world, people and things have their well-known places, and do certain expected things. We feel at home there. We fit in. We are members.” PeopleWorldFeelsWellsMayHomeCertainKnownPositionHabitFitComfortTasteMembersCapacityTraditionDefenseExpectedCoreConsistentStereotypeWell KnownAdapted Author:Walter Lippmann
“I wish people were more like animals. Animals don't try to change you or make you fit in. They just enjoy the pleasure of your company. Animals aren't conditional about friendships. Animals like you just the way you are. They listen to your problems, they comfort you when you're sad, and all they ask in return is a little kindness.” PeopleWayTryingLittlesProblemAsksWishEnjoyPleasureAnimalCompanyKindnessLike YouReturnFitComfortAbout FriendshipConditional Author:Bill Watterson

“Not surprisingly, as the pioneer theme is presented, each goes back in memory to his or her own family line. There are usually examples to identify and which fit the definition of a pioneer: "one who goes before, showing others the way to follow." Some, if not all, made great sacrifices to leave behind comfort and ease and respond to that clarion call of their newly found faith.” IfsWayMadeFoundLinesMemoriesBehindsSacrificeExampleFitComfortDefinitionsEaseThemePioneersGreat Sacrifice Author:Thomas S.

“Every time I put a collection together I'd scrap it because there was no "meaning," until I wrote about the two black men - friends - in the beginning of the book. So much of their experience was ABOUT trying to find friends in the authors/artists I wrote about - subjects that were/are a source of comfort, somehow, since none of them "fit," either” MenTryingTwoBookTogetherArtistBlackSubjectsSourceFitComfortCollectionsScrap Author:Hilton Als

“Dear Heavenly Father, I have a friend who stands as close as a brother, a brave soul. I have seen in him the heart of a warrior... He is gallant, loyal, and true, sacrificing his esteem, forfeiting his comfort, even spilling his blood. But, what color is his soul? My friend has a desperate need, and I have seen it. How can I be his accuser, condemning the one who has gladly poured out his blood in my stead? But shall I deny my witness? There is a darkness, a gnawing void behind those eyes of steel... Will you make him a knight, dressed in holy raiment, fit to take a seat at your table?” NeedsHeartSoulEyeFatherBehindsDarknessSacrificeBloodColorBrotherFitHolyComfortMy FriendsTablesBraveDearDenyEsteemWarriorWitnessDesperateSeatsHeavenlyVoidLoyalSteelKnightsHeavenly FatherCondemningGallantSpillingAccusersBrave Souls Author:Bryan Davis
