I wake up every morning at nine and grab for the morning paper. Then I look at the obituary page. If my name is not on it, I get up.

I'm approaching a period in my life though where I'd like to be totally absorbed into music, doing concerts, writing something. Basically, that IS what I am doing.

Brandon Mull

Y cada vez, después de la pasión satisfecha y del amor renovado nos dormimos muy juntos sin importarnos dónde empieza uno ni termina el otro, ni de quién son estas manos o estos pies, en tan perfecta complicidad que nos encontramos en los sueños y al otro día no sabemos quién soñó a quién, y cuando uno se mueve entre las sábanas el otro se acomoda en los ángulos y curvas, y cuando uno suspira el otro suspira y cuando uno despierta el otro despierta también.

Isabel Allende

Obstinacy in opinions holds the dogmatist in the chains of error, without hope of emancipation.

John C. Granville

I think we have lost our groove as a country. One of the reasons was the attack on 9/11. We got knocked off our game. From a country that always exported hope we went into the business of exporting fear.
