Life

Even if things do not work out as you thought they should for you, they do - in their own way, as they were meant to.

When we were growing up our parents somehow made it clear that being famous was good. And I mistakenly thought that if I was famous then everyone would love me.

This place can't be heaven, it doesn't have the right vibe.

Yes, I guess you could say I am a loner, but I feel more lonely in a crowed room with boring people than I feel on my own.

I love Naples, Florida! Although, I’m so far behind everyone else there. After all, I’m still wearing my first face!

That night as I lay in bed, I thought of several things I could have said and mourned the fact that my wit usually bloomed late, peaking when it no longer mattered, during the solitary hours close to midnight.

I helped bring cheerfulness to a city, valued a long term local job, prepared for that disaster, was that extra dad, wrote songs of hopeful music, and searched for the truth but the most important thing was knowing you were not alone on the journey.

I waited for dawn, but only because I had forgotten how hard mornings were. For a second I'd be normal. Then came the dim awareness of something off, out of place. Then the truth came crashing down and that was it for the rest of the day. Sunlight was reproof. Shouldn't I feel better than I had in the dead of night.

The church must be involved in all seven spheres of life.

The Universe is under no obligation to make sense to you.

No human being, particularly a young, attractive woman, is so alone that there is no one to miss her when she disappears.

The stalkers can get a little scary at times, but I guess all these things are a part of being famous.

The fate of all things cherished and expensive, to be lost at hazard, and well before their time.

When life is good do not take it for granted as it will pass. Be mindful, be compassionate and nurture the circumstances that find you in this good time so it will last longer. When life falls apart always remember that this too will pass. Life will have its unexpected turns.

I found myself when I least expected you- at the same old rocking chair in the room with the same flavor of tea. The only difference was the tea had turned cold, just as life had. And I found myself with an option. I could abandon this tea anytime and make a fresh one. You see?

He hated old women. They frightened him. There was a smell about them that gave him the willies. They were fierce and they had no price. They never gave a damn about making a scene. They got what they wanted. Louie's grandmother had been a tyrant. She had got whatever she wanted by being fierce.

Everything that we experience every day leaves a long-lasting impression.

Being put in our place by something larger, older, greater than ourselves is not a humiliation; it should be accepted as a relief from our insanely hopeful ambitions for our lives.

In your life, always be like a driver who runs the car not just a car.
