But it does mean that, yeah, it's the combination that makes it work.

Truman CapoteWhen I write my novels, I'm not writing them to make political points. I'm writing them because I passionately love monsters and the weird and horror stories and strange situations and surrealism, and what I want to do is communicate that.

These resources give us understanding and direction in dealing with our challenges.

Vito FossellaIt is important to communicate to children about what we are going through. We often speak in half truths.

Focus energy on the child. Children are raising themselves these days in all sorts of strange ways.
