It is not a waste to write beautiful prose or poetry for one person's eyes alone!

We foolish mortals sometimes live through years not realizing how short life is, and that TODAY is your life.

People throw away what they could have by insisting on perfection, which they cannot have, and looking for it where they will never find it

Encouraged, we recognise the importance of living artistically, aesthetically and creatively as creative creatures of the creator.

The most precious thing a human being has to give is time. There is so very little of it, after all, in a life.

The thing about real life is that important events don't announce themselves... Usually something that is going to change your whole life is a memory before you can stop and be impressed about it.

It makes sense that there is no sense without God.

In a fallen world, if you demand perfection or nothing, you will always get nothing.

If children haven't been read to, they don't love books. They need to love books, for books are the basis of literature, composition, history, world events, vocabulary, and everything else.

When people insist on perfection or nothing, they get nothing.

If you really want to escape the things that harass you, what you’re needing is not to be in a different place but to be a different person.

Failures are stepping stone of success, but it becomes stepping stone when we accept it with whole heart...

Just 'get' the 'One' in All. Then live accordingly. That's all.

The Chinese foreign ministry has said more than once that I am a free person. Did I do anything wrong by leaving my home?

But I bring it up to let you know that this is the way I feel right now. Like Pluto and Jupiter are aligned with the earth and I'm floating.

My background is in improv and writing.

It's with my brush that I make love.

I actually did ponder doing the Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie thing and get a kid from Ethiopia. But you know, I already have an ashtray.
