Some people help thousands of people directly, like Marie Curie or Susan B. Anthony. Others help us by inspiring us, like Amelia Earhart. But you do have to help someone.

We are all ordinary. We are all boring. We are all spectacular. We are all shy. We are all bold. We are all heroes. We are all helpless. It just depends on the day.

I tend to do something for two years then move on to something new. Yoga, then biking, then weight lifting, then back to biking. The moment it feels like a rut, I switch and search for a new love. It's like having a midlife crisis, but without the new wife or cheesy BMW.

I love when I teach my son a good lesson. But I love it even more when he teaches me.

Grief is a world you walk through skinned, unshelled.

If life after death really does exist, everyone probably gets what they expect to get, because that's the only thing I can think of that would be fair.

There is no such thing as death. In nature nothing dies. From each sad remnant of decay, some forms of life arise so shall his life be taken away before he knoweth that he hath it.

That death was near, I suppose I believed, but I saw it only as a rest after the day's work.
