Wisdom is nothing more than the marriage of intelligence and compassion. And, as with all good unions, it takes much experience and time to reach its widest potential.

As I rolled over, stretching out, my only thought was to go back to the dream I'd been having, which I couldn't remember, other than that it had been good, in that distant, hopeful way unreal things can be. ↗

When they call the roll in the Senate, the Senators do not know whether to answer 'Present' or 'Not Guilty'. ↗

In a dream, in a fairytale, nothing has to be explained, everything happens of its own accord. ↗
