Each person deserves a day away in which no problems are confronted, no solutions searched for.

I certainly do not adore the writer's discipline. I have lost lovers, endangered friendships, and blundered into eccentricity, impelled by a concentration which usually is to be found only in the minds of people about to be executed in the next half hour.

You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.

I never expected anyone to take care of me, but in my wildest dreams and juvenile yearnings, I wanted the house with the picket fence from June Allyson movies. I knew that was yearning like one yearns to fly.

And I not only have the right to stand up for myself, but I have the responsibility. I can't ask somebody else to stand up for me if I won't stand up for myself. And once you stand up for yourself, you'd be surprised that people say, "Can I be of help?"

I'm young as morning and fresh as dew. Everybody loves me and so do you.

Listen to yourself and in that quietude you might hear the voice of God.
