“I would like each of you to now think in terms of acquiring skill. Good skill helps you move more freely in the world. Skill is your confidence. Skill is your protector. Skill is your friend. And this above all else -- skill is a legitimate form of power." Nurse Pierce, The Blue Orchard”
“Pop used to say no one knows more tricks than a country midwife." - Verna Krone, The Blue Orchard”
