Mankind is connected in ways it does not understand - even in dreams.

All these people that you meet or I meet, there's not a prayer in hell that they're ever going to run for office or major office because if they're that smart, they're also smart enough to know they don't want to take everything that they've built up and have it torn apart by a sensationalized media that's so hungry for any kind of salacious detail that they'll make that the emphasis of the person's life. And then all of sudden, 50, 60 years of hard work and accomplishment go out the window.

This is the greatest gift God can give you: to understand what happened in your life. To have it explained. It is the peace you have been searching for.

There is no experience like having children.’ That’s all. There is no substitute for it. You cannot do it with a friend. You cannot do it with a lover. If you want the experience of having complete responsibility for another human being, and to learn how to love and bond in the deepest way, then you should have children.

But fates are connected in ways we don’t understand.

Accept the past as past, without denying it or discarding it.

My mother was French Protestant, and my father was Italian Catholic, and their union was an excess of God, guilt and sauce.
