“Among all the nonsense, mistakes, and bad ideas we come up with, maybe some truth will sneak in.”— Henning Mankell Related Quotes “I never gave anybody hell! I just told the truth and they thought it was hell.”– Harry S. Truman “Risk! Risk anything! Care no more for the opinions of others, for those voices. Do the hardest thing on earth for you. Act for yourself. Face the truth.”– Katherine Mansfield “I learned regret in the ruins of Tarbfhlaith. I regretted that ambition had ruled my heart instead of affection for my kin. And with the lesson of regret came the gratitude for having life still to move my lips and limbs, and to speak kind words to and embrace those I may not see again on this sweet-smelling earth. I learned that I cannot wait to love what is in my presence, for it or I may well be gone tomorrow. To some, such as Giannon, this lesson poisons the heart with bitterness. But such bitterness has no value and is, in fact, cowardly. For bitterness risks nothing.”— Kate Horsley
