Everything I know about Mignon McLaughlin comes from A.Word.A.Day, which, when citing her quotations, says she is a journalist and author, born 1913, died 1983.

Every society honors its live conformists and its dead troublemakers.
True remorse is never just a regret over consequences; it is a regret over motive.
The best work is done with the heart breaking, or overflowing.
The hardest-learned lesson: that people have only their kind of love to give, not our kind.
Don't be yourself. Be someone a little nicer.
