Quote by Jessamyn West (1902-1984)

• We want the facts to fit the preconceptions. When they don't, it is easier to ignore the facts than to change the preconceptions.

• It is the loving, not the loved, woman who feels loveable.

• A taste for irony has kept more hearts from breaking than a sense of humor, for it takes irony to appreciate the joke which is on oneself.

• People who keep journals have life twice.
