I said to myself, 'I've waited a long time in my life to have a child, and I'm missing it, I want to continue to have a career, but not this way.'
I really like people and I keep friendships. I have people from all parts of my life.
I have a big life, a small child, I work, I do a lot of things, so I'm often playing catch-up with what's current.
All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child.
Everything we do is infused with the energy in which we do it. If we're frantic, life will be frantic. If we are peaceful, life will be peaceful.
I would never, ever in my life say, 'I want to go to Washington to heal the soul of Washington.'
I take the kids to church and Sunday school. They love it. I really think it's important for a child to feel that there are things that are bigger than your life out there.
When I have a child, it will be probably become my whole life, so I don't want to have any regrets that I should have done more.
My novels are high concept. I guess big ideas interest me more than, say, the minutiae of domestic life.
Sometimes as a parent, you have to give your child that doesn't do his or her chores some tough love and withhold the allowance.
You cannot catch a child's spirit by running after it; you must stand still and for love it will soon itself return.
I love human beings. I believe that there is so much to learn from every person you meet, including a child.
I love character and voice, and my favourite books have been the ones in which I've become completely absorbed.
I dream of giving birth to a child who will ask, Mother, what was war?
Being pregnant was a lot like being a child again. There was always someone telling you what to do.
I was a pretentious child. I grew up without a television. I read a lot of books and I loved Shakespeare. Still do.
There's nothing that can help you understand your beliefs more than trying to explain them to an inquisitive child.
It is not as a child that I believe and confess Jesus Christ. My hosanna is born of a furnace of doubt.
There is no such thing as a child who hates to read; there are only children who have not found the right book.
A child may be "spoiled" by a lack of training or by inappropriate love that gives or trains incorrectly.
And I remind you of your mother now? I have got to look into a manlier cologne.
