“Serendipity was my tour guide, assisted by caprice”
“Loving means being open to miracles, to victories and defeats, to everything that happens each day that was given us to walk upon the face of the Earth.”
“Reason lost the battle, and all I could do was surrender and accept I was in love.”
“We were a religious, practicing, Catholic family - Mass together on Sunday, Catholic schools, and parents who practiced everything they preached. A great gift was their total absence of any derogatory talk about people of any race or culture and we were on a street of many faiths, though no other races at that early time.”
“I breathed and breathed and did feel some calmness enter in, though it was, as always, shot with a sense of loss. Loss and fear.”
“If we keep our little flame alive, our first feeling of enthusiasm of who we are, without the influence or intervention of others, we will prevail.”
“I wondered which was harder, in the end. The act of telling, or who you told it to. Or maybe if, when you finally got it out, the story was really all that mattered.”
“I try to make my heart beat out of my chest, hard-core, once a day for at least a half hour. I think that's very important.”
