Some of the words and symbols and images from childhood will continually be part and parcel of my personality.

Children can write poetry and then, unless they're poets, they stop when reach puberty.

A bad act done will fester and create in its own way. It's not only goodness that creates. Bad things create. They have their own yeast.

You can always tell you're in deep trouble when people start thinking money's real.

After ten years of word processing, I can't even do hand writing anymore.

Of all the haunting moments of motherhood, few rank with hearing your own words come out of your daughter's mouth.
