Children's talent to endure stems from their ignorance of alternatives.

I've had rainbows in my clouds.

My mother said I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy.

Some think, "If I marry this guy who's two inches taller than I am and who has a nice bank account, I won't die. If I buy six cars, I won't die. If I hate Jews, I won't die. If I hate homosexuals, I won't die." They think they will increase their life by shunting misery onto somebody else, but it's just the opposite.

The truth brings the past into the present and prepares us for the future. That's what truth does

Every day I awaken I am grateful. My intent is to be totally present in that day. And laugh as much as possible.

Tragedy, no matter how sad, becomes boring to those not caught in its addictive caress.
