Thursday? Oh no, it can't be! It's too gruesome.

A child is a child in any country, whatever the politics. Let's get down to basics. That's what a child forces you to do. Nothing else much matters, there is no complicated diplomacy, when a child is starving. It's simple. And we'd better do something about it. For our sakes, too. That is, if we want to continue to call ourselves human.

If my world were to cave in tomorrow, I would look back on all the pleasures, excitements and worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness, not my miscarriages or my father leaving home, but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough.

I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

Happy girls are always the prettiest

I don't want to be alone, I want to be left alone.
