Lisa See
“Sisters, as you know, also have a unique relationship. This is the person who has known you your entire life, who should love you and stand by you no matter what, and yet it's your sister who knows exactly where to drive the knife to hurt you the most.”
Lisa See

Bill Watterson
“It's not denial. I'm just selective about the reality I accept.”
Bill Watterson

Barbara Alpert
“Sister. She is your mirror, shining back at you with a world of possibilities. She is your witness, who sees you at your worst and best, and loves you anyway. She is your partner in crime, your midnight companion, someone who knows when you are smiling, even in the dark. She is your teacher, your defense attorney, your personal press agent, even your shrink. Some days, she's the reason you wish you were an only child.”
Barbara Alpert

W.C. Fields
“I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food.”
W.C. Fields

“There is no passion to be found playing small - in settling for a life that is less than the one you are capable of living" (Mandela)”
Mandela Nelson
