"Forget it! Five cents, please!
Charles M. SchulzI had supposed until that time that it was quite common for parents to love their children, but the war persuaded me that it is a rare exception.

I could probably write ten pages on this question.

Helen GarnerAmericans who have parents raised during the Great Depression or World War II understand how drastically things have changed on the home front.

Jim OttoI know from the elders that it's not so easy to sustain a life in music, a presence in the music world, for decades on end. And that's what we're here for: we're thinking about the long game. If that is dependent on other people's desire for me, then it becomes extremely vulnerable to change. Rather than subject myself to that vulnerability, I'd rather embrace change and allow myself to transform, and maybe that means that what I do next week, the people who liked me last week won't like anymore, but maybe that will also lead people to like something else.

Anne M. MulcahyElrond's house was perfect, whether you liked food or sleep or story-telling or singing (or reading), or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all. Merely to be there was a cure for weariness. ... Evil things did not come into the secret valley of Rivendell.
