I am determined to make the most of this life that I have, damn it - it's that kind of stubbornness I think we all need more of.

My career started young and I was really ambitious, and then I had success and I hung out with people who were much older. I think I might have been temporally misplaced, so I thought I was 40. It was a premature midlife crisis.

It is merely this world that is chaotic, bringing changes to us all that nobody could have anticipated.

Here's the thing: the unit of reverence in Europe is the family, which is why a child born today of unmarried parents in Sweden has a better chance of growing up in a house with both of his parents than a child born to a married couple in America. Here we revere the couple, there they revere the family.

The resting place of the mind is the heart.

With each reunion (we) had to learn each other all over again. There was always that nervous moment at the airport when I would stand there waiting for him to arrive, wondering, Will I still know him? Will he still know me?

We don't realize that, somewhere within us all, there does exist a supreme self who is eternally at peace.
