“Lord, where we are wrong, make us willing to change; where we are right, make us easy to live with.”
“There's a hunger for stories in all of us, adults too. We need stories so much that we're even willing to read bad books to get them, if the good books won't supply them.”
“It is not what you give your friend, but what you are willing to give him that determines the quality of friendship.”
“Thus were we weaned to knowledge of the WillThat wills the natural world, but wills us dead.”
“The catch was that we could never break up, because I had run out of friends who were willing to help us move.”
