I have a recurring fantasy that one more article has been added to the Bill of Rights: the right to free access to imagination.

You need imagination in order to imagine a future that doesn't exist.

Reality has become so intolerable, she said, so bleak, that all I can paint now are the colors of my dreams.

Every fairy tale offers the potential to surpass present limits, so in a sense the fairy tale offers you freedoms that reality denies.

Memories have ways of becoming independent of the reality they evoke. They can soften us against those we were deeply hurt by or they can make us resent those we once accepted and loved unconditionally.

My passion has always been books and literature, and teaching.

It is amazing how, when all possibilities seem to be taken away from you, the minutest opening can become a great freedom.
