Mary's Story
Mary is from Redmond, Washington. Mary later attended Carroll College (Nursing) . Mary works(ed) at University Of Washington Medical Center.
One of Mary's favorite quotes is:"There are two things that need to be done: me, and my laundry. I'm going to marry a man who can do both.
'To sell your soul is the easiest thing in the world. That's what everyone does every hour of his life. If I asked you to keep your soul - would you understand why that's much harder?' Ayn Rand, The Fountainhead
Only the mediocre are at their best all the time!
Women are like teabags - they don't know how strong they are until they get into hot water.
There are two things you should never start a sentence with: "Oops!" and "The children are burning." - T. Sizzle
When we remember that we are all mad, the mysteries of life disappear and life stands explained - Twain
I don't just want to live the length of my life, but the width of it as well.
On a plaque at Sloan Kettering (leading cancer center in NY):
Cancer is so limited...
It cannot cripple love.
It cannot erode faith.
It cannot eat away peace.
It cannot destroy confidence.
It cannot kill friendship.
It cannot shut out memories.
It cannot silence courage.
It cannot invade the soul.
It cannot reduce eternal life.
It cannot quench the spirit.
On religion: Currently: "I don't know what God is, or what God had in mind when the universe was set in motion. In fact, I don't know if God even exists, although I confess that I sometimes ...Expand for more
find myself praying in times of great fear, or despair, or astonishment at a display of unexpected beauty.
There are some ten thousand extant religious sects - each with its own cosmology, each with its own answer for the meaning of life and death. Most assert that the other 9,999 not only have it completely wrong but are instruments of evil, besides. None of the ten thousand has yet persuaded me to make the requisite leap of faith. In the absence of conviction, I've come to terms with the fact that uncertainty is an inescapable corollary of life. An abundance of mystery is simply part of the bargain - which doesn't strike me as something to lament. Accepting the essential inscrutability of existence, in any case, is surely preferable to its opposite: capitulating to the tyranny of intransigent belief.
And if I remain in the dark about our purpose here, and the meaning of eternity, I have nevertheless arrived at an understanding of a few more modest truths: Most of us fear death. Most of us yearn to comprehend how we got here, and why - which is to say, most of us ache to know the love of our creator. And we will no doubt feel that ache, most of us, for as long as we happen to be alive." Jon Krakauer, Under the Banner of Heaven. Amen to people who can sense what is in my heart and express it a thousand times better than my own befuddled brain permits me.".
