The turning point was when I hit my 30th birthday. I thought, if really want to write, it's time to start. I picked up the book How to Write a Novel in 90 Days. The author said to just write three pages a day, and I figured, I can do this. I never got past Page 3 of that book.

Love is inseparable from knowledge.

St. Macarius of Egypt

Beauty could be defined simply as 'that which pleases.' But there is another aspect to art, and that... is the sublime. Like the mushroom cloud of the atom bomb, or the vastness of space as projected to us by satellite... the greatness of the experience goes beyond your ethical and aesthetic judgment, cutting you free from the binding ego of yourself. With the diminishment of your ego, the less there is of you, the more you see the sublime.

Paul Feig

The future has a way of arriving unannounced.

George Will

I'm lucky to have family around me. Otherwise, I'll be taking the risk of falling in love with myself.

Shakira

The Peace Corps is guilty of enthusiasm and a crusading spirit. But we're not apologetic about it.
