We all, sometimes, leave each other there under the skies, and we never understand why. - Truman Capote

There are certain shades of limelight that can wreck a girl's complexion.

To me, the greatest pleasure of writing is not what it's about, but the music the words make.

What we want most is only to be held…and told…that everything (everything is a funny thing, is baby milk and Papa’s eyes, is roaring logs on a cold morning, is hoot-owls and the boy who makes you cry after school, is Mama’s long hair, is being afraid, and twisted faces on the bedroom wall)…everything is going to be all right.
