“For me, the words 'Anything is possible' haven't served as a bolstering of hope as much as a warning to run for cover”
“words are like nets - we hope they'll cover what we mean, but we know they can't possibly hold that much joy, or grief, or wonder.”
“I hope y'all haven't punk'd me or anything and you're actually calling me a wuss.”
“If I can't serve as a role model, let me serve as a warning.”
“The simplest and shortest ethical precept is to be served as little as possible . . . and to serve others as much as possible.”
“I know you are always finding ways to love me in spite of how horrible I am, I hope I haven't run out of chances.”
