Meg Cabot
“Lilly and I just stood there looking at each other like we couldn't believe it. I still can't. Who are these people, and why do I have to be incarcerated with them on a daily basis?”
Meg Cabot, The Princess Diaries

George Seferis
“Old friend, what are you looking for?
After those many years abroad you come
With images you tended
Under foreign skies
far away from your own land.”
George Seferis

“You Never Know Where A Conversation Is Going To Go

Said Ricky to me one day, "Why is it you
don't have a tail?"

Well, I just don't. Maybe once upon a time
I had one, but not anymore.

"What happened? Did you have an accident?

No, no. Things change. Sometimes. Over
time.

"You mean, maybe sometime I won't get a walk,
I won't get dinner? I won't get hugs? That's
scary, plain scary."

No, no, it takes a really long time. In
fact, some things change, over time, and
some don't.

"Well, how do I know what's what?"

Day by day, Ricky. You find out.
Has anything changed that troubles you?

"Actually, nothing. I like everything a lot,
every day."

Well, see? Just keep on liking things.
And praying.

"I don't know anything about that."

Yes you do. Every time you wake up and
love your life and the world, you're
praying, my dear boy. I'm sure of it.”
Mary Oliver, Dog Songs: Poems

Eve Babitz
“And because we were in Southern California-in Hollywood even-there was no history for us. There were no books or traditions telling us how we could turn out or what anything meant.”
Eve Babitz

Priscilla Beaulieu Presley
“Maybe I am a slow learner, but ultimately, it is a choice. I choose not to be a cynic. Living my life suspecting everyone's motives, thinking the worst of people, is no life at all. Letting people get close to you is always a risk. Though I have learned to be careful, I am unwilling to shut myself off completely.”
Priscilla Beaulieu Presley, Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis
