"I don't have dating tips."

-- Bill Keller

“I was eleven when my father left, so neither of us really knew our fathers. Iâ€™d met mine of course, but then I only knew my dad as a child knows a parent, as a sort of crude outline filled in with one or two colors. Iâ€™d never seen my father scared or cry. Iâ€™d never heard him admit to any wrongdoing. I have no idea what he dreamed of. And once Iâ€™d seen a smile pinned to one cheek and darkness to the other when my mum had yelled at him. Now he was gone, and I was left with just an impressionâ€”one of male warmth, big arms, and loud laughter.”
“Someone explained parallax error to me, and I thought Ah, with a cheap camera, it would be pretty easy to behead someone.”
“By this time I was no longer very much terrified or very miserable. I had, as it were, passed the limit of terror and despair. I felt now that my life was practically lost, and that persuasion made me capable of daring anything”
“I desire the love of God not because I am worthy, but because I am unworthy.”

“When everybody loves me, I will never be lonely.”
“How utterly are one's best thoughts invaded by this going out in society.”
“Maturity is simply the process of discovering that everything you believed in when you were young is false and that all the things you refused to believe in turn out to be true.”
“Grace! It's Christmas for goodness sake! Think about the baby Jesus. Up in that tower letting his hair down, so that the three wise men could climb up and spin the dreidel and see if there's six more weeks of winter!”
