"First I cultivated around the rosemary. The warm scent overpowered everything nearby. It added wonderful flavor to roasted potatoes, root vegetables, and chicken, but as a tincture, if too much was used,.. it could be deadly.

"I heard once that to truly forgive means you no longer resent the person." (p.g. 255)

As Shakespeare says, " There is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads ton to fortune; omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries." (p.g. 245)
