Something I am wondering: if you cannot hear do you have no sounds in your head? Do you see a silent movie

I wish that every baby everywhere could land in a family that wanted that baby as much as we want ours.

You know, maybe that's all anybody wants, is to be useful. And have somebody else notice it.

I don't remember titles of books or authors from when I was young. I remember the title of only one book, which was 'The Timber Toes.' I remember it was a family of little wooden people who lived in the woods, and for some reason that stayed with me.

Don’t be in too much of a rush to be published. There is enormous value in listening and reading and writing—and then putting your words away for weeks or months–and then returning to your work to polish it some more.

And what did I think when I was small and why did I forget? And what else will I forget when I grow older? And if you forget is it as if it never happened? Will none of the things you saw or thought or dreamed matter?
