“Shaw does not merely decorate a proposition, but makes his way from point to point through new and difficult territory. This explains why Shaw must either be taken whole or left alone.

“There is a mental fear, which provokes others of us to see the images of witches in a neighbor's yard and stampedes us to burn down this house. And there is a creeping fear of doubt, doubt of what we have been taught, of the validity of so many things we had long since taken for granted to be durable and unchanging. It has become more difficult than ever to distinguish black from white, good from evil, right from wrong.” LongHas BeensEvilHouseFearDifficultBlackWhiteTakenDoubtTaughtNeighborGrantedWitchProvokingYardsValidityTaken For GrantedUnchangingStampede Author:Edward R.

Our nature really is to be like God.” ThinkingWellsDifficultUnderstandingCommonKindnessTakenWell BeingLove And KindnessMemes Author:Wayne Dyer
