“When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us.”

I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading!

The audience is the best judge of anything. They cannot be lied to. Truth brings them closer.

The struggle of my life created empathy - I could relate to pain, being abandoned, having people not love me.

Self-pity is our worst enemy and if we yield to it, we can never do anything good in the world.
