I believe that having something to hope for - even if it's just a better tomorrow- is the most powerful drug on this planet.

It never failed to amaze me how the most ordinary day could be catapulted into the extraordinary in the blink of an eye.

It's certainly my honor to be able to, hopefully, change the world a tiny bit, one mind at a time.

We're [parents]) always bluffing, pretending we know best, when most of the time we're just praying we won't screw up too badly.

Suddenly I realize that this is what I've been waiting for - a man who depends entirely on me... I dreamed for years of a man who couldn't live without me, a man who pictured my face when he closed his eyes, who loved me when I was a mess in the morning and when dinner was late and even when I overloaded the washing machine and burned out the motor. [My son] stares up at me as if I can do no wrong. I have always wanted someone who treats me the way he does; I just didn't know that I'd have to give birth to him.

You know how hind-sight is 20/20? Love is when you look back and wouldn't change anything.

I'm not going to tell a person how to think, don't believe in that. What I want to do, when I write these books, is just to say don't be so sure of yourself. Let me pull the carpet out from underneath you, and let's see if you can still find the footing.
