I work very hard, and I play very hard. I'm grateful for life. And I live it - I believe life loves the liver of it. I live it.

When we know better, we do better.

You never get over the fear of writing.

We need to remember to teach our children that solitude can be a much-to-be-desired condition. Not only is it acceptable to be alone; at times it is positively to be wished for.....In the silence we listen to ourselves. Then we ask questions of ourselves. We describe ourselves to ourselves, and in the quietude we may even hear the voice of God.

If you want to liberate someone, love them.Not be in love with them - that's dangerous. If you're in love with your children, you're in their lives all the time. Leave them alone! Let them grow and make some mistakes. Tell them, "You can come home. My arms are here - and my mouth is too." When you really love them, you don't want to possess them. You don't say, "I love you and I want you here with me."

Being physically close to extreme power causes one to experience a giddiness, an intoxication.

My encouragement to you is to go tomorrow to the library.
