The bastards right now are only interested in seeing if they can blow up the world.

• What Habitat does is much more than just sheltering people. It’s what it does for people on the inside. It’s that intangible quality of hope. Many people without decent housing consider themselves life’s losers. This is the first victory they may have ever had. And it changes them. We see Habitat homeowners go back to school and get their GEDs, enter college, do all kinds of things they never believed they could do before they moved into their house. By their own initiative, through their own pride and hope, they change.

• There's all kinds of reasons that you fall in love with one person rather than another: Timing is important. Proximity is important. Mystery is important.
