I don't think anything can prepare you for one's losses.

In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. In life may you proceed with balance and stealth.

I have great respect for my parents. I got such beautiful things from both of them. It doesn't mean that we didn't have our rough times, but they were remarkable people who were open-minded, creative and hard-working, and had great senses of humor.

I knew if I lived long enough I would be poet laureate of something.

Both of them were ahead of their time, but they didn't live long enough to see the time they were ahead of.

If you over-plan, you close the door on possibilities.

Blessedness is within us all.
