And were an epitaph to be my story I'd have a short one ready for my own. I would have written of me on my stone: I had a lover's quarrel with the world.

I would have written of me on my stone: I had a lover's quarrel with the world.

I haven't written my own epitaph, and I'm not sure I should. Whatever it is, I hope it will be simple, and that it will point people not to me, but to the One I served.

I never take my own side in a quarrel.

Had I not had children of my own, I would have never written books for children, nor would I have been capable of doing so.

My own parents were touchy-feely.
