Each generation must get on the same old merry-go-round, only disguised in a fresh coat of paint.

I love to praise what I love, and I won't for a minute believe that love is blind -- indeed, it gives clearness without sharpness, and surely that is the best light in which to look at anything.

Each generation must get on the same old merry-go-round, only disguised in a fresh coat of paint.

All the old houses that I knew when I was a child were full of books, bought generation after generation by members of the family. Nobody told you to read this or not to read that.

I think joy is just as instructive as pain, and I like it better. I never meant to suffer any more than I could help; my nature was meant for happiness, a daylight art and living.

Adventure is something you seek for pleasure, or even for profit, like a gold rush or invading a country;...but experience is what really happens to you in the long run; the truth that finally overtakes you.

Trust your happiness and the richness of your life at this moment. It is as true and as much yours as anything else that ever happened to you.
