“Memory shimmers as a crystal lakethat reflects all things invisible.”

“Memory is a sly devil that pretends to wear the cloak of truth, but deceives us both in our youth and our age.”

“Sometimes memory is the only gift we give ourselves and the only hope we have of finding our way home.”

“All things old become new again. In my youth the athletes had crew cuts and the hippies had long hair. Now the athletes have long hair and the hippies are bald.”

“If I woke up one morning and realized that all I ever was going to be was a business man, I'd probably die. All my dreams would be shattered. Early in life I had many dreams. I dreamed of being a great basketball star. I dreamed of being a preacher. I dreamed of saving the world from war and racism. And I dreamed of being a great poet. Today, I dream only of writing.”

“The more I try to be perfect; the more I fail.”

“Service to others in their time of need is a privilege and an honor.”
