It's not too late to develop new friendships or reconnect with people.

Sometimes you cannot believe what you see, you have to believe what you feel.

The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.

You don't understand. You're not a wave. You're part of the ocean.

The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it.

The little things, I can obey. But the big things - how we think, what we value - those you must choose yourself. You can't let anyone - or any society - determine those for you.

Although you may be old or sick, it's not too late to take stock and ask yourself if you really are the person you want to be, and if not, who you do want to be.

In the beginning of life, when we are infants, we need others to survive. And at the end of life, we need others to survive. But here's the secret, in between, we need others as well.

Is today the day? Am I ready? Am I doing all I need to do? Am I being the person I want to be?

If you don’t have the support and love and caring and concern that you get from a family, you don’t have much at all.

After you have wept and grieved for your physical losses, cherish the functions and the life you have left.

Eventually your little choices are going to become habits that affect the bigger decisions you make in life.

instead of becoming a doctor or an engineer... i chose to be me... a writer :)

Ironically, now that my children are older and gone quite a bit, I find it harder to work when they're not around. Too much free time!

Not all teams use the same tests and certainly those tests are far from being 100 percent as well. It's part of the process.

There is but one kind of love; God is love, and all his creatures derive theirs from his; only it is modified by the different degrees of intelligence in different beings and creatures.

We all get weary sometimes, and we tend to think that life is what makes us weary.

When I'm up for an award, there are usually two or three other things on the ballot that I like better than my own fiction.

My sense of Los Angeles was very New York provincial, as in 'all those people are crazy out there' (which they are), and stupid (which they're not), and immoral (it's more interesting than that).

Rarely do pens go dry in restaurants.

I really like working with drummers, I like being able to bounce ideas off drummers.
