I really like writing in English, and it's the best job I've ever had.

I never take pictures. Skies are much larger in reminiscences and my friends are much better-looking. Photos crop reality into little squares; instead, I have very good binoculars.

I'd say it's never a challenge to present white and heteronormative privilege. The hard thing is to write any other way.

We must generate courage equal to the size of the difficulties we face.

What I set seems to never extinguish

Jack Lambert is mean and relentless wherever he goes, on and off the field! I do remember many times he would chase me in practice but no way would I let him catch me.

Is not a kiss the very autograph of love?

At Chicago Hope they have a technical staff that works real hard to make that O.R. as realistic as possible.
