Original thinking migrates each day in search of nourishment.

I know that I'm not the easiest person to live with. The challenge I put on myself is so great that the person I live with feels himself challenged. I bring a lot to bear, and I don't know how not to.

Growing up, I decided, a long time ago, I wouldn't accept any manmade differences between human beings, differences made at somebody else's insistence or someone else's whim or convenience.

Precious jewel, you glow, you shine, reflecting all the good things in the world. Just look at yourself.

I did then what I knew how to do. Now that I know better, I do better.

It's good to remember that in crises, natural crises, human beings forget for awhile their ignorances, their biases, their prejudices. For a little while, neighbors help neighbors and strangers help strangers.

Every person needs to take one day away. A day in which one consciously separates the past from the future.
