| a64c2db | Imagine a world where people were 10% happier and less reactive. Marriage, parenting, road rage, politics - all would be improved upon. Public health revolutions can happen rapidly. Most Americans didn't brush their teeth until after world war 2 after soldiers were demanded to maintain oral hygiene. Exercise didn't get popular until science proved its benefits. Mindfulness, I had come to believe, could, in fact, change the world. | happiness meditation mindfulness public-health revolution | Dan Harris | |
| 3123560 | I wanted to do it again tonight. When I had Agent Harris unconscious in the bathroom -- I wanted to hurt him and crush him and cut him until you couldn't even tell who he was anymore, but I didn't.

| 7cc1c69 | Her family... Love and involvement brought joy, but as well could become a hideously heavy millstone slung about one's neck. And the worst was that she felt useless because there was not a mortal thing she could do to help resolve their problems. | Rosamunde Pilcher | ||
| 718949e | The Scottish clan system was an extraordinary thing. No man was any man's servant, but part of a family.

| cf989b5 | Carrie could not remember how long it was since some other person had cherished her. Had said, 'You look tired.' And, 'How about a little rest?' She had spent too many years being strong, looking after others and their problems...The day progressed, and through her window Carrie watched the weather and was glad she did not have to be out in it.

| 84c4bc8 | Before Elfrida Phipps left London for good and moved to the country, she made a trip to Battersea Dogs' Home, and returned with a canine companion. It took a good, and heart-rending, half hour of searching, but as soon as she saw him, sitting very close to the bars of his kennel and gazing up at her with dark and melting eyes, she knew he was the one. She did not want a large animal, nor did she relish the idea of a yapping lap dog. This on.. | dogs | Rosamund Pilcher | |
