"You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do."
"You can safely assume you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do."
"Your problem is how you are going to spend this one and precious life you have been issued. Whether you're going to spend it trying to look good and creating the illusion that you have power over circumstances, or whether you are going to taste it, enjoy it and find out the truth about who you are."
"We can't understand when we're pregnant, or when our siblings are expecting, how profound it is to have a shared history with a younger generation: blood, genes, humor. It means we were actually here, on Earth, for a time - like the Egyptians with their pyramids, only with children."
"When hope is not pinned wriggling onto a shiny image or expectation, it sometimes floats forth and opens."
"Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don't give up."
"The reason I never give up hope is because everything is so basically hopeless."
