Life

I don't think I was a good model. I think I was born to emote and act. I would walk down the ramp and smile and they used to say, 'Give us a blank look.' It was really difficult not to smile.

I always thought high school was supposed to be a time for finding yourself, but I guess that's only if you fit into the mold people have made for you.

I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself.

Fare thee well! And if for ever Still for ever fare thee well.

There's a difference between living and just surviving. Do something you love, and find someone to love who loves that you love what you do.It is really that simple.And that hard.

Everybody knows now that Marie Lightfoot, the true crime writer, is dating Franklin DeWeese, the state attorney of Howard County, Florida. They know I'm a white woman; they know he's a black man. That's not news anymore.

Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them.

I think that, when I die, it might be some time until I know it.

Hope is the boat we ride to reach the shore of our desires.

I did not direct my life. I didn't design it. I never made decisions. Things always came up and made them for me. That's what life is.

...Don't settle for pap - our thoughts wander through eternity - experience the wonder of being alive...

The dead should not have to answer to the claims of the living, even the sharpest grief.
