“I like lights on buildings, because without them you wouldn't be able to see all the beauty in the world.” (About the lights on the football field at the local highschool.)

'The happiest moments of my life have been the few which I have passed at home in the bosom of my family.'

'I'm not beautiful, I'm pretty!' (Angrily at age 2 and a half. After getting into his sister's toy makeup case and being called beautiful...)

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

“Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.''
