Everything matters terribly to children, you know, they're fresh and unformed.

When we live with a memory we live with a corpse; the impact of the experience has changed us once but can never change us again.

It's when we're given choice that we sit with the gods and design ourselves.

will anything but fanaticism make for change? Wisdom and compromise come later.

We overlook how much in our lives is invisible; love, for instance; thought, God, the future, time, faith, hope and even the electricity that brings us light.

... old clothes, old friends, old books. One needs constants in a traveling life.

If something anticipated arrives too late it finds us numb, wrung out from waiting, and we feel - nothing at all. The best things arrive on time.
