Yesterday my daughter said to me, 'My marriage is falling apart.' And now all she can do is watch it falling.

Now I was a tiger that neither pounced nor lay waiting between the trees. I became an unseen spirit.

No one in my family was a reader of literary fiction. So, I didn't have encouragement, but I didn't have discouragement, because I don't think anybody knew what that meant.

They know where happiness lies, not in a cave or a country, but in love and the freedom to give and take what has been there all along.

I was intelligent enough to make up my own mind. I not only had freedom of choice, I had freedom of expression.

I loved fairy tales when I was a kid. Grimm. The grimmer the better. I loved gruesome gothic tales and, in that respect, I liked Bible stories, because to me they were very gothic.

The life we receive is not always what we choose.
