I went to see 'Listen to My Heart: The Songs of David Friedman.' I have been a fan of his music for years, and I was invited to opening night because I know one of the producers.

I believe it is wrong, in a country of such wealth and prosperity, to have 36 million Americans living in poverty.

I used to work in a hospital, in a laboratory doing phlebotomy. I was a vampire.

But will this attention to poverty be sustained or transient? That depends on our leaders - whether we step up and sustain our moral commitment as the country's conscience would naturally want us to do.

When you take the U out of mourning, it's a brand new day!

I think that the majority of messages are validating messages to confirm the survival of conscious. And many times that validation message is negative or sad.

One does not deceive oneself about the consequences of one's acts; one deceives oneself about the ease with which one can live with those consequences.
