Quote

The baby rises to its feet, takes a step, is overcome with triumph and joy - and falls flat on its face. It is a pattern for all that is to come! But learn from the bewildered baby. Lurch to your feet again. You'll make the sofa in the end.

Bears need people. People need bears.

It should be possible to exist with only a short shelf of books, to read and give away. After all - we may not open a book, once read, for ten years or more. But the act of reading has made it part of us - to relinquish it would be to lose an extension of our being.

Sisters don't need words. They have perfected a language of snarls and smiles and frowns and winks - expressions of shocked surprise and incredulity and disbelief. Sniffs and snorts and gasps and sighs - that can undermine any tale you're telling.

Dads are most ordinary men turned by love into heroes, adventurers, story-tellers, singers of songs.

For every person who has ever lived there has come, at last, a spring he will never see. Glory then in the springs that are yours.

A horse is the projection of peoples' dreams about themselves - strong, powerful, beautiful - and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence.

Sisters never quite forgive each other for what happened when they were five.

Medicines may be necessary. Flowers lift the heart. But your smile is the best restorative of all.

Kittens are wide-eyed, soft and sweet. With needles in their jaws and feet.
