We eat fast food so that we can go to bed on time, but, trust me, everyone wakes up too late. ”

To find them, look for tiny interesting choices. And remember that you are always making up the future as you go. ”

“ I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed Against the earth's sweet flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain. Poems are made by fools like me, But only God can make a tree. ”

- Joyce Kilmer
