Growth is never by mere chance; it is the result of forces working together.
The best teamwork comes from men who are working independently toward one goal in unison.
How can we expect our children to know and experience the joy of giving unless we teach them that the greater pleasure in life lies in the art of giving rather than receiving.

It may well be that's the last thing in the world they want to talk about.

That felt deeply frustrating because I felt there was an attempt to stifle me as an artist. The best revenge I could have was to write.
