He got me a cup of tea with honey, toast with honey, yogurt with honey, like I was John the Baptist with the flu. - Anne Lamott

To be a good writer, you not only have to write a great deal but you have to care. You do not have to have a complicated moral philosophy. But a writer always tries, I think, to be a part of a solution, to understand a little about life and to pass this on.

I don't remember who said this, but there really are places in the heart you don't even know exist until you love a child.

This is one thing they forget to mention in most child-rearing books, that at times you will just lose your mind. Period.
