Weddings seem to be magnets for mishap and for whatever craziness lurks in family closets. In more ways than one, weddings bring out the ding-dong in everybody involved.

You are free to give life meaning, whatever meaning you want to give it.

The solution to alone-ness is not more solitude, but companionship and community.

Campaigns bring out the warriors in everybody.

I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.

And it is still true, no matter how old you are, when you go out into the world it is best to hold hands and stick together.
