I refuse to eat a fried egg if the white is still runny or transparent. I really can't be doing it. I always have to flip it over.

Each song is a lifetime, it begins and ends, and there's a journey taken within the songs.
Don't believe your own publicity. You can't; you'll start thinking that you're better than you are.
I'm not a slave to anything anymore. And I never will be again.
I have no problem with starting from scratch.
Just do what you like to do, and do it all the time.
Do not primarily train men to work. Train them to serve willingly and intelligently.

I began to know my story then. Like everybody's, it was going to be the story of living in the absence of the dead. What is the thread that holds it all together? Grief, I thought for a while. And grief is there sure enough, just about all the way through. From the time I was a girl I have never been far from it. But grief is not a force and has no power to hold. You only bear it. Love is what carries you, for it is always there, even in the dark, or most in the dark, but shining out at times like gold stitches in a piece of embroidery.
