Tis' better to live your own life imperfectly than to imitate someone else's perfectly.

I see a lot of women who can't travel when they're young, and then their kids grow up and they become amazing adventurers. Travel is not only for the young. Sometimes it's wasted on the young.

What are you willing to give up, in order to become who you really need to be?

Dear me, how I love a library.

You can butcher the sheep only once. But if you are careful, you can shear the sheep every year.

Despite having written five books, I worry that I have not written the right kinds of books, or that perhaps I have dedicated too much of my life to writing, and have therefore neglected other aspects of my being.

I guess what I want to learn is how to live in this world and enjoy its delights but also devote myself to God.
