"It makes no difference how many peaks..." - Quote by Oprah Winfrey

“The roses, the lovely notes, the dining and dancing are all welcome and splendid. But when the Godiva is gone, the gift of real love is having someone who'll go the distance with you. Someone who, when the wedding day limo breaks down, is willing to share a seat on the bus.”

“I tried to empty myself and let the spirit of Sethe inhabit me.”

“What I know for sure is this: The big secret in life is that there is no big secret. Whatever your goal for this year is, you can get there - as long as you're willing to be honest with yourself about the preparation and work involved. There are no back doors, no free rides. There's just you, this moment, and a choice.”

“With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come. And let my liver rather heat with wine, than my heart cool with mortifying groans.”

“Gaiety alone, as it were, is the hard cash of happiness; everything else is just a promissory note.”

“In a sailboat I become oblivious to everything else in the world.”

“If one knows exactly what is going to be done, why do it?”

“Art is the path of the creator to his work.”

“Writing can be described in two verbs: Throw up and clean up.”
