gay thinking rights
Gay rights to me that is the last civil right that we have not granted in America and I think it's an enormous embarrassment.
responsibility research arena
Any time you put on the mouthpiece of somebody that you're not, there's a professional responsibility to get it right. I did a great deal of research in both of those arenas.
ideas way choose-me
The ideas choose me, not the other way around.
children decision parent
Tradionally, parents made decisions for a child, because presumably they are looking out for his or her best interests. But if they are blinded, instead, by the best interests of another one of their children, the system breaks down.
moving-on past behind-you
You can't look back - you just have to put the past behind you, and find something better in your future.
order missing beloved
Maybe you had to leave in order to really miss a place; maybe you had to travel to figure out how beloved your starting point was.
children pregnancy motherhood
Sometimes when you pick up your child you can feel the map of your own bones beneath your hands, or smell the scent of your skin in the nape of his neck. This is the most extraordinary thing about motherhood - finding a piece of yourself separate and apart that all the same you could not live without.
dream believe belief
Beliefs are the roads we take to our dreams. Believe you can do something-or believe you can't-and you'll be right everytime.
life heartbreak heartbroken
Once you had put the pieces back together, even though you may look intact, you were never quite the same as you'd been before the fall.
children loss shoes
To say there had been a loss was ludicrous; one lost a shoe or a set of keys. You did not suffer the death of a child and say there was a loss. There was a catastrophe. A devastation. A hell.
details forget-you sometimes
Life sometimes gets so bogged down in the details, you forget you are living it.
happiness reality two
There are two ways to be happy: improve your reality, or lower your expectations.
memories mistake sight
Mistakes are like the memories you hide in an attic: old love letters from relationships that tanked, photos of dead relatives, toys from a childhood you miss. Out of sight is out of mind, but somewhere deep inside you know they still exist. And you also know that you're avoiding them.
memories language-of-love language
For better or for worse, music is the language of memory. It is also the language of love.
