"Anything we love can be saved."

-- Alice Walker

“Too many people seem to believe that silence was a void that needed to be filled, even if nothing important was said.”
“Dead men always have the last laugh. They win. They're dead. You can't hurt their feelings anymore.”
“Being engaged is a way of doing life, a way of living and loving. It's about going to extremes and expressing the bright hope that life offers us, a hope that makes us brave and expels darkness with light. That's what I want my life to be all about - full of abandon, whimsy, and in love.”

“I want literature to open all the doors that I can't open by myself, and to allow me to see things that I wouldn't otherwise see.”
“The greatest weapon we have to combat stress is the ability to choose our thoughts.”
“Pattern recognition and association make up the core of our thought. These activities involve millions of operations carried out in parallel, outside the field of our consciousness. If AI appeared to hit a brick wall after a few quick victories, it did so owing to its inability to emulate these processes.”
“I have reached out my hand, I have plucked the fruits of the Gospel, I have eaten of them, and they are sweet, yea, above all that is sweet.”
“When I moved to Seattle, I was hanging out with kids who had done drugs, had sex a million times. I look at them now and realize their childhood was taken away.”
