Stories are there to be told, and each story changes with the telling. time changes them. logic changes them. grammar changes them. history changes them. each story is shifted side-ways by each day that unfolds. nothing ends. the only thing that matters, as faulkner once put it, is the human heart in conflict with itself. at the heart of all this is the possibility, or desire, to create a piece of art that talks to the human instinct for recovery and joy.

The greatest changes in history have come when people were able to shake off what others told them to do.

Let others lead small lives, but not you. let others argue over small things, let them complain over what might have been, but not you. let others cry over small hurts, let them be discouraged, let them be revengeful and vindictive, but not you. let others leave their future in someone else's hands, let them become materialistic and empty, but not you. let others become ungrateful and stop praying, but not you! let others give up, but not you! for you know in whom you believe and you know that he is always able. now, that's you!

"of course it is," ben agreed, raising a finger. "but the real question is this: would you go into the woods?

I don't suppose that she gave you the job based on looks alone?" adrian had been staring off but now flashed me a big smile. "why, sage, you sweet talker." "that's not what i meant! what happened?" he shrugged. "i told the truth." "adrian!" "i'm serious. she asked me what my greatest strength was. i said getting along with people." "that's not bad." i admitted. "then she asked what my greatest weakness was. and i said, 'where should i start?'" "adrian!" "stop saying my name like that. i told her the truth. by the time i was on the fourth one, she told me i could go.

Babies aren't born knowing differences in color, gender, religions. they're taught those things. they're taught them at home. they're taught in the schools. they're taught in the churches. they're taught in the mosques, in the synagogues.

I vote democrat because i'm not concerned about millions of babies being aborted so long as we keep all death row inmates alive and comfy.

One of the early tip-offs to me about the enormous changes that were going on with being in a bangalore house, home, where the young woman from a nearby village, who had been hired to baby sit newborn twins, suddenly said after two weeks of work: 'i'm sorry, this is too much work, i'm going to try applying for call center jobs. the pay is better.'

Babies aren't really born of their parents. they are born of every kind word, loving gesture, hope, and dream their parents ever had.
