Tommy LasordaI could not bounce back from my divorce - emotionally - I just could not bounce back.

I couldnโt sleep - couldnโt concentrate. It just got crazy.

Jessica PowersThe conservatives who say, "Let us not move so fast," and the extremists who say, "Let us go out and whip the world ," would tell you that they are as far apart as the poles.

I know now that they were the clamor of a new self struggling to be born.

Ted KoppelThe crying sounded even louder out of doors. It was as if all the pain in the world had found a voice. Yet had I known such pain was in the next room, and had it been dumb, I believeโI have thought sinceโI could have stood it well enough. It is when suffering finds a voice and sets our nerves quivering that this pity comes troubling us.
