�The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure that it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry.�
- Ernest Hemingway (1899 � 1961), American writer and journalist: �A Farewell to Arms�, 1929.

�It�s not just what we inherit from our mothers and fathers that haunts us. It�s all kinds of old defunct theories, all sorts of old defunct beliefs, and things like that. It�s not that they actually live on in us; they are simply lodged there, and we cannot get rid of them. I�ve only to pick up a newspaper and I seem to see ghosts gliding between the lines.�
- Henrik Ibsen (1828 � 1906), Norwegian writer, dramatist and poet: �Ghosts�, 1861.

�We listen to others to discover what we ourselves believe.�
- George Grant (b. 1918), Canadian writer and philosopher: �CBC Times�, 1959.

�Love is moral without legal marriage, but marriage is immoral without love.�
- Ellen Key (1849 � 1926), Swedish feminist, writer and lecturer: �The Morality of Women�, 1911.
