“Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.”

“Was there little time between the invention of language and the coming of true and false?”

“Truth can remain silent. Lies must be spoken.”

“Reading gives us some place to go when we have to stay where we are”

“Pain rises. From the heart to the head pain rises.”

“This was the start of a period that blurs as I try to recall it. Incidents seem to cascade and merge. Events become feelings, fellings become events. Head and heart are contrary historians.”

“The head has no answers, and the heart has no questions, Jack would say."Quoting his teacher and good friend Jack Kakakaway”

“If I am brave enough to stand against those who have been groomed by fear, I will recognize that where I get knocked down is all about where life begins, and has nothing to do with where it ends.”

“Although Ive been thoroughly conditioned by pain to see it otherwise, an ending is nothing more than the backside of a beginning.”

“Don't try to figure out the whole race. Just figure out where to put your foot for the starting line. Just start.”
