Taylor Caldwell

It is human nature to instinctively rebel at obscurity or ordinariness.

I was never afraid of anything in the world except the dentist.

I am deeply convinced that happiness does not exist in this world.

What distresses me at times is that I meet a lot of people in their 40's, 50's, 60's, who still say they're a victim of child abuse.

Malice can always find a mark to shoot at, and a pretence to fire.

Science is not a heartless pursuit of objective information. It is a creative human activity, its geniuses acting more as artists than as information processors.
