How is it possible for me to feel so young and so old at the same time?

Getting out of bed is a good way to leave your troubles behind.

The best thing a girl can be is a good wife and mother. It is a girl's highest calling. I hope I am ready.

I dream of land, cut only where streams glistened with birdsong wander through quiet hills burnt hard by the scrape of wind, and of a porch from which a single road leads only homeward.

The best cure for sadness is doing something.

A clock only turns one direction

I have a deep-down belief that there are folks in the world who are good through and through, and others who came in mean and will go out mean. It's like coffee. Once it's roasted, it all looks brown. Until you pour hot water on it and see what comes out. Folks get into hot water, you see what comes out.
