I had across this passage in the book Sarah's Quilt:
I have a deep down belief that there are folks in the world who are good through and through, and others who came out mean and will go out mean. It's like coffee. Once it's roasted, it all looks brown. Until you pour hot water on it and see what comes out. Folks get into hot water, you see what comes out.
Other quotes from the book:
So much of life is a shadow, fleeting as a moment.
How fast can life turn its course. On a nickel, as the boys say, and give you change.
............
I just finished the book and read the author's bio which states the book was created from stories of her great grandmother. Okay, so I'm thinking some of our relatives should write a book based on our family stories. Any takers?

I loved that book...I need to read it again to remind me of all of her great quotes!
