"We need the courage to create ourselves daily, to be bodacious enough to create ourselves daily - as Christians, as Jews, as Muslims, as thinking, caring, laughing, loving human beings. I think that the courage to confront evil and turn it by dint of will into something applicable to the development of our evolution, individually and collectively, is exciting, honorable."
Courage
"The love of the family, the love of one person can heal. It heals the scars left by a larger society. A massive, powerful society."

Productivity

Inspirational
"Making a decision to write was a lot like deciding to jump into a frozen lake."
Creativity
