– Paul Freund
More quotes by Paul Freund
The things a man has to have are hope and confidence in himself against odds, and sometimes he needs somebody, his pal or his mother or his wife or God, to give him that confidence. He's got to have some inner standards worth fighting for or there won't be any way to bring him into conflict. And he must be ready to choose death before dishonor without making too much song and dance about it. That's all there is to it.

– Andy Gibb
More quotes by Andy Gibb

It is with heavy hearts that we say farewell to Pope John Paul II, our pilgrim of peace.

As for the torture of fans waiting for the other shoe(s) to drop, I hope that it is true - that there are readers out there panting to know what is going to happen to Adrian and Frances and Jessica, and who can't wait to find out who the aliens are and why they sent spaceship plans and what they want with humans. I must admit that I am curious, too.
