We have it in us to be splendid.

We can be better, we can be wiser, we can be more kind. Yes we have to change. We have to grow up and stop acting like 10 years old. Yes there is much to do, much to see, much to go into.

My life has been one great big joke, a dance that's walked a song that's spoke, I laugh so hard I almost choke when I think about myself.

Continue. Be loving and be strong. Be fierce and be kind. And don't give in and don't give up.'

If I insist on being pessimistic, there is always tomorrow. Today I am blessed.

I make writing as much a part of my life as I do eating or listening to music.

We do the best we can with what we know, and when we know better, we do better.
