“Never speak to an invalid from behind, nor from the door, nor from any...” — Florence Nightingale Quote

“Never speak to an invalid from behind, nor from the door, nor from any distance from him, nor when he is doing anything. The official politeness of servants in these things is so grateful to invalids, that many prefer, without knowing why, having none but servants about them.”

“If I could give you information of my life it would be to show how a woman of very ordinary ability has been led by God in strange and unaccustomed paths to do in His service what He has done in her. And if I could tell you all, you would see how God has done all, and I nothing. I have worked hard, very hard, that is all; and I have never refused God anything.”

“I start kind of stiff, and then I understand the movement, the distance, and then I can start loosening up. That's how fighting should be. That's how I try to keep my mind.”

“Toronto is my home. It's where my family is. I think I feel an obligation to be within subway distance of the people who raised me.”

“I am in love with girls that are bad and naughty and badass, and a little selfish, but I like to watch from a respectful distance!”
