'Tis Very True (or, From the Pen of John Steinbeck, III)

"'The ways of sin are curious,' Samuel observed. 'I guess if a man had to shuck off everything he had, inside and out, he'd manage to hide a few little sins somewhere for his own discomfort. They're the last things we'll give up.'"
East of Eden, Chapter 15 part 3

From the Pen of Kevin Sites

"Real change requires risk."
