I think Clinton, after getting into office and into Washington, was shocked at being bludgeoned. So he spent time trying to be all things to all people - one way guaranteed not to be successful or respected in a lion's den. You can't just play around with all those big cats - you've got to take somebody on.

Love heals. Heals and liberates. I use the word love, not meaning sentimentality, but a condition so strong that it may be that which holds the stars in their heavenly positions and that which causes the blood to flow orderly in our veins.

Those who have something to say accept the fact that that's lonely. One already knows that there will be adversaries.

Listen to some good poetry. You see? It keeps us from thinking we are only what our blatant appetites describe us as.

Writing and cookery are just two different means of communication.

Life is a glorious banquet, a limitless and delicious buffet.

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