“You know, we have moments of passion when we are in pain. And then of course the moment ends, and with it the passion and the pain, and we forgive and forget. But I think that every time you hurt somebody that you care for, a crack appears in your relationship, a little weakening - and it stays there, dangerous, waiting for the next opportunity to open up and destroy everything.” ThinkingKnowsLittlesEndsMomentsCarePainPassionCoursesNextOpportunityWaitingHurtForgetDangerousForgivingCracksOur RelationshipWeakeningForgive And Forget Author:Edith Hahn Beer

“I think the category of perpetual adolescence, it's a new thing, and it's a dangerous thing. Adolescence is a pretty glorious concept.

“I believe the most dangerous misconception is the idea our money and possessions belong to us, not God. Many of our problems begin when we forget that God is the Boss of the universe.
