Hope means no matter how bleak, all things can and do change in the blink of an eye.”

“I think I have a good sense of humor, but I'm not, like, a joke-teller. I get the jokes, which is sometimes half the battle. Believe me, I have no idea why anyone hires me....”
“She dries her eyes and bakes her pies and leaves 'em on the window sill”
