"The greatest tragedies are not the ones we see coming, but the ones we never expected."

未来属于那些明白以少做多是有同情心、繁荣和持久的人。

一个阅读的孩子将成为一个思考的成年人。

我很早就知道这个世界可能是残酷的，但我拒绝让它击垮我。

群星不会因为像萤火虫而怯於出现。

As a kid， I spent my summers with my grandparents on their ranch in Texas. I helped fix windmills， vaccinate cattle， and do other chores. We also watched soap operas every afternoon， especially "Days of our Lives." My grandparents belonged to a Caravan Club， a group of Airstream trailer owners who travel together around the U.S. and Canada. And every few summers， we'd join the caravan. We'd hitch up the Airstream trailer to my grandfather's car， and off we'd go， in a line with 300 other Airstream adventurers. I loved and worshipped my grandparents and I really looked forward to these trips. On one particular trip， I was about 10 years old. I was rolling around in the big bench seat in the back of the car. My grandfather was driving. And my grandmother had the passenger seat. She smoked throughout these trips， and I hated the smell.
