Norah looked at her son’s tiny face, surprised, as always, by his name. he had not grown into it yet, he still wore it like a wrist band, something that might easily slip off and disappear.

At home I looked at the notebooks that you had bought and I got the stupidest surge of hope that I’d find something of you, something especially for meant for me. I would so much like to have something of you that I could always keep by me, that nobody else would notice Picture Quote #1

I had grown up. I had learned that being a woman was knowing when to stand firm and when to compromise. I had learned to laugh and weep; I had learned that I was weak as well as strong. I had learned to love.

There are no hopeless situations, sweetheart, only people who have grown hopeless about them. You still have choices you can make Picture Quote #1

A day will come when it will dare and act with certainty; when life, grown wiser, will depart silently at its hour, knowing that it has reached its term Picture Quote #1

As soon as one knows one is going to die, childhood is over... So one can be grown up at seven.

Desires and anxieties are there, preventing you from having access to the essential truth Picture Quote #1

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Don’t teach a man to fish and you feed yourself. He’s a grown man, fishing’s not that hard Picture Quote #1

It’s the sheer joy of seeing things grow and helping them to grow, even harvesting the stuff that you’ve grown yourself, no matter how old you are Picture Quote #1

I came across a photograph of him not long ago... his black face, the long snout sniffing at something in the air, his tail straight and pointing, his eyes flashing in some momentary excitement. Looking at a faded photograph taken more than forty years before, even as a grown man, I would admit I still missed him Picture Quote #1
