Quotes by Barbara Mikkelson

  • Perhaps better we not obscure the idea that happiness and misery, kindness and greed, and good works and bad deeds are within the capacities of us all, not merely a select few.
  • Authenticity matters little, though our willingness to accept legends depends far more upon their expression of concepts we want to believe than upon their plausibility.
  • Beware the pull on your heartstrings -- it's often the pursestrings that are actually being reached for.
  • The power of illustrative anecdotes often lies not in how well they present reality, but in how well they reflect the core beliefs of their audience.
