A friend will tell you she saw your old boyfriend - and he's a priest.

I remember thinking how often we look, but never see...we listen, but never hear...we exist, but never feel. We take our relationships for granted. A house is only a place. It has no life of its own. It needs human voices, activity and laughter to come alive.

There's nothing sadder in this world than to awake Christmas morning and not be a child.

Don't confuse fame with success. Madonna is one; Helen Keller is the other.

In two decades Ive lost a total of pounds. I should be hanging from a charm bracelet.

I don't know why no one ever thought to paste a label on the toilet-tissue spindle giving 1-2-3 directions for replacing the tissue on it. Then everyone in the house would know what Mama knows.

There's something wrong with a mother who washes out a measuring cup with soap and water after she's only measured water in it.
