Anne Lamott
“Love falls to earth, rises from the ground, pools around the afflicted. Love pulls people back to their feet. Bodies and souls are fed. Bones and lives heal. New blades of grass grow from charred soil. The sun rises.”
Anne Lamott, Help Thanks Wow: The Three Essential Prayers

Vladimir Nabokov
“All colors made me happy: even gray.
My eyes were such that literally they
Took photographs. ”
Vladimir Nabokov, Pale Fire

Katharine Hepburn
“We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers - but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault, because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change.”
Katharine Hepburn, Me: Stories of My Life

Claes Oldenburg
“I am for an art that imitates the human, that is comic, if necessary, or violent, or whatever is necessary.

Claes Oldenburg

E.B. White
