A good deed here, a good deed there, a good thought here, a good comment there, all added up to my career in one way or another.

Jackie Robinson is a true legend.

To simply wake up every morning a better person than when I went to bed.

I have a kind of respect - a worshipful attitude, even - for nature and the natural order and the cosmos and the seasons.

I set my star so high that I would constantly be in motion toward it.

I am the me I choose to be.

I'm going to quit writing.
