Books that children read but once are of scant service to them; those that have really helped to warm our imaginations and to train our faculties are the few old friends we know so well that they have become a portion of our thinking selves.

Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read...if you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.
Filmmaking Filmmaker Ifs
The books in mo and meggie's house were stacked under tables, on chairs, in the corners of the rooms. there where books in the kitchen and books in the lavatory. books on the tv set and in the closet, small piles of books, tall piles of books, books thick and thin, books old and new. they welcomed meggie down to breakfast with invitingly opened pages; they kept boredom at bay when the weather was bad. and sometimes you fall over them.
Book Fall Weather
From whence it is obvious to conclude that, since our faculties are not fitted to penetrate into the internal fabrick and real essences of bodies; but yet plainly discover to us the being of a god, and the knowledge of our selves, enough to lead us into a full and clear discovery of our duty, and great concernment, it will become us, as rational creatures, to imploy those faculties we have about what they are most adapted to, and follow the direction of nature, where it seems to point us out the way.

We were not always 70, or rather our 70 is an accumulation of all the other ways we were. our 5-year-old selves became our 10-year-old selves, and so on and on; and if we unpack our selves, the full album appears. every moment is a part of the following moment, and we are all a continuum.

It was like the classic scene in the movies where one lover is on the train and one is on the platform and the train starts to pull away, and the lover on the platform begins to trot along and then jog and then sprint and then gives up altogether as the train speeds irrevocably off. except in this case i was all the parts: i was the lover on the platform, i was the lover on the train. and i was also the train.
Giving Up Lovers Classic
My daughter is seven, and some of the other second-grade parents complain that their children don't read for pleasure. when i visit their homes, the children's rooms are crammed with expensive books, but the parent's rooms are empty. those children do not see their parents reading, as i did every day of my childhood. by contrast, when i walk into an apartment with books on the shelves, books on the bedside tables, books on the floor, and books on the toilet tank, then i know what i would see if i opened the door that says 'private--grownups keep out': a child sprawled on the bed, reading.

My son is trying to be a sports writer, and my daughter is a college student. she wants to be a comedy writer, and she's at film school. i discouraged both of them early on from getting involved in starbucks. i didn't think it would be fair; plus, they didn't have any interest anyway.
Sports Daughter School
Contrary to what you may think, an immoral act of any kind will only lower your self-esteem. be true to yourselves, and your respect for yourself will increase. know that yours is a divine birthright. cultivate a good opinion of yourselves. others may make cutting remarks concerning you. this is only a sign of their ignorance and not of your qualities. walk with that dignity which is becoming a young woman who is a daughter of god.
Daughter Self Esteem Ignorance
Remember, i'm a doctor's daughter. so obviously i'm interested in all medical things.

My daughter refuses to call me mother in public; my little grandson calls me spongeslob squarebottom, and nobody else ever calls me at all.
