"They're certainly entitled to think that, and they're entitled to full respect for their opinions," said Atticus, "but before I can live with other folks I've got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience."
~Harper Lee, writer, To Kill a Mockingbird
(sorry for those of you who got the draft version of several quotes earlier...)
Growing up, I often said "I wished I had a corner," meaning I wanted a little hideaway where I could get alone and just BE. It got to be kind of a joke in the family, but they understood what I meant - a spot just for me; to read, journal, garden, enjoy music, meditate on life, or pray. The "corner" I longed for wasn't even an actual place, but more, the opportunity to do those things I love. So, welcome and see what is going on in our family's corner!

I love To Kill a Mockingbird. I'm going to have to go read it again (and add it to my favorite book list). :)
Ditto Sandi's comment. That is one book that I wish I had not given away. I would read it tonight.
Ohhh, I love that. It is so going into my quote book! I love that book too...
