'Families are about love overcoming emotional torture.'

“If we call these foothills, can we call the little trees 'foot trees?''' (While driving in the foothills.)

As the family goes, so goes the nation and so goes the whole world in which we live.

The roaring of the wind is my wife and the stars through the window pane are my children. The mighty abstract idea I have of beauty in all things stifles the more divided and minute domestic happiness.

All I am, or can be, I owe to my angel mother.
