"We always worry about the wrong things, don't we?"

-- Michael Cunningham

“I'm never as happy as when I'm pregnant. I literally would have 10 babies if I could!”
“You have to be responsible for the energy you're putting out into the world.”
“Painting is more important than art.”
“That which is called liberality is frequently nothing more than the vanity of giving.”
“Never use an adverb to modify the verb 'said' . . . he admonished gravely. To use an adverb this way (or almost any way) is a mortal sin. The writer is now exposing himself in earnest, using a word that distracts and can interrupt the rhythm of the exchange.”
“I didn't volunteer; they asked me. I felt a duty to testify.”
“I don't know why people expect art to make sense. They accept the fact that life doesn't make sense.”
“Things do not always happen the way I would have wanted, and it's best that I get used to that.”
