You needn't die happy when your day comes, but you must die satisfied, for you have lived your life from beginning to end.

It was the possibility of darkness that made the day seem so bright.

I was in enough to get along with people. I was never socially inarticulate. Not a loner. And that saved my life, saved my sanity. That and the writing. But to this day I distrust anybody who thought school was a good time. Anybody.

Get busy living or get busy dying.

That whole program took on a life of its own.

No one ever does live happily ever after, but we leave the children to find that out for themselves.
