The moment of surrender is not when life is over. It's when it begins

I embrace each moment as an opportunity for a miracle.

Miracles begin when we consider the possibility that there might be another way.

Whatever we put out, it's coming back to us. The universe keeps a perfect set of books.

We tend to lack humility toward love, to patronize it rather than bow before it, to put mundane considerations before the emotional need to hold someone in our arms.

Of course, a woman's choice to go out into the world is a very significant thing. But part of real liberation is recognizing that mothering is every bit as important as other kinds of work. I actually believe it's more important than anything we do out in the world.

I think every writer lives for the thought that there will be a moment when somebody reads something on the page and says, "Yes!"
