Half the time, it is unplanned - just the stuff of life in which a precious human steps in, the good news personified.— Jen Hatmaker

The world of publishing is in crisis. It's no coincidence that the worst published writer in the world today is also one of the world's most successful writers ... Dan Brown. Now Dan Brown is not a good writer, The Da Vinci Code is not literature. Dan Brown writes sentences like "The famous man looked at the red cup." ... and it's only to be hoped that Dan Brown never gets a job where he's required to break bad news.

He was signalling that the state should pull back and give the people more free play.— Cheong Yip Seng
