Good-Hearted People by T.S
Arthur
“There are two classes in the world: one acts from impulse,
and the other from reason; one consults the heart, and the
other the head. Persons belonging to the former class are

enemies in their course through life. Still, the world owes as
much to the latter as to the former--perhaps a great deal
more.”
“The questions probed him to the quick. Let every one who
is good-hearted in the sense that Mr. May was, ask seriously
the same questions.”

The star by Esther Claes
“In the afternoon, you bring your four gold records and three
Grammy awards up to your room so you can look at them.
Your finger traces your name on the awards over and over,
and you can't comprehend how someone who has
accomplished so much in such a short time should be
allowed to go through something as horrible as this. You're a
star, for God's sake, you deserve better than this.”
