- We have to have the money to do the work we want to do, as well as to keep a roof over our heads and food on the table. Fat commissions are good, but not always easy to come by, and each new painting takes its time. So we need to find every way possible to earn extra income from our work.

- Veronica Pare and Ferrett Steinmetz, Home on the Strange, 11-09-07
- The first rule of life is to reveal nothing, to be exceptionally cautious in what you say, in whatever company you may find yourself. If you have a secret, you have only to whisper it to your dearest friend with the strictest injunction that it will go no further, and within half a day the story is all over town, and when you do make what would seem to be a perfectly sensible remark, you will find it reported in the most grotesque form, thus incurring no end of criticism to rebound upon you.

- I am an atheist, myself. A simple faith, but a great comfort to me, in these last days.
- Lois McMaster Bujold
- One cannot find peace in work or in pleasure, in the world or in a convent, but only in one's soul.
- W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965), The Painted Veil, 1925
- Tao. Some of us look for the Way in opium and some in God, some of us in whiskey and some in love. It is all the same Way and it leads nowhither.
- W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965), The Painted Veil, 1925
- Remember that it is nothing to do your duty, that is demanded of you and is no more meritorious than to wash your hands when they are dirty; the only thing that counts is the love of duty; when love and duty are one, then grace is in you and you will enjoy a happiness which passes all understanding.
- W. Somerset Maugham (1874 - 1965), The Painted Veil, 1925
