I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.

Too much of a good thing can be wonderful!

I'm not sure I'm adult yet.

Imagination and fiction make up more than three quarters of our real life.

To forgive is not just to be altruistic.
