I suppose [my life] has most resembled a blue chip stock: fairly stable, more ups than downs, and gradually trending upward over time. A good buy, a lucky buy, and I've learned that not everyone can say that about his life.
Life, I've learned, is never fair. If they teach anything in schools, that should be it.
I've learned that we're all entitled to have our secrets.
I've learned that memories can have a physical, almost living presence.
I've learned to keep my mind open to ideas from any source.
