Suspicions that the mind, of itself, gathers, are but buzzes; but suspicions that are artificially nourished and put into men's heads by the tales and whisperings of others, have stings.

Are you married? What do you do for agravation?

A wild creature is not subject to any will except its own

I take with me Kentucky, embedded in my brain and heart, in my flesh and bone and blood. Since I am Kentucky, and Kentucky is part of me.

I don't think science is totally true, because I've seen miracles happen through prayer.
