What if the mightiest word is love, love beyond marital, filial, national. Love that casts a widening pool of light. Love with no need to preempt grievance.In today's sharp sparkle, this winter air, anything can be made, any sentence begun.On the brink, on the brim, on the cusp -- praise song for walking forward in that light.

We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and by the depth of our answers.

Carl Sagan, Cosmos (page: 193),

Comedy has to be done en clair. You can't blunt the edge of wit or the point of satire with obscurity. Try to imagine a famous witty saying that is not immediately clear.

People often get their imagination's mixed up with their memories.

P.K. Shaw

No doubt to teach one's own children...takes special qualities. But these are qualities that many people have, or with a little help, can get. ...The home-schooling movement is full of such people, ordinary people doing things that they never would have thought they could do - learning the law, questioning the experts, holding their ground against arrogant and threatening authoritiues, defending themselves and their convictions... Seeing them, other ordinary people think they can do the same, and soon they do. This is why it may be a little misleading to speak of the homeschooling movement. Most people think of a movement as something like an army, a few generals and a great many buck privates. In the movement for homeschooling, everyone is a general.

John Holt, Teach Your Own (New Y

Don't worry when you are not recognized, but strive to be worthy of recognition.

Abraham Lincoln

I put my money in the bank: I have to think of life after modeling, when I'm not famous any more.

To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there.
