“The one thing I would like to get across about my whole feeling regarding high school is how I was when I was fifteen. Gawky. Always a hem hanging down, or strap loose, or a pimple on my chin. I never knew what to do with my hair. I was a mess. And I still carry that fifteen-year-old girl around now. A piece of me still believes I'm the girl nobody dances with.” YearsBelieveStillsWholeFeelingsSchoolGirlPiecesOne ThingHairHigh SchoolMessFifteenAdolescenceChinsFifteen YearsHemPimplesFifteen Years Old Author:Nora Ephron
“I hope that my ideas attract a lively dialogue, even if my sentences are simple. Simple sentences have always served me well. And I don't use semicolons.

I don't like people saying one thing and meaning the other.” PeopleIfsWellsIdeasHardUseKidsSchoolSimpleOne ThingHigh SchoolSentencesDialogueIronyLively Author:Kurt Vonnegut

“One thing I like about writing is that it provides such a wonderful opportunity for confidential chats with readers. In the privacy of writing, and reading, we can discuss topics that are a little touchy, a bit embarrassing, and feel less alone in the process. Feeling consumed by memories from high school. Feeling wimpy. Feeling time-obsessed. Yearning for our fathers. Wishing we were taller, or shorter, or less average. To name just a few.” FeelsWritingLittlesFeelingsSchoolReadingFatherOpportunityNamesWishBitsProcessMemoriesWonderfulOne ThingReaderHigh SchoolAverageObsessedPrivacyYearningTopicsEmbarrassingConsumedOur FatherWriting And ReadingConfidentialTouchy Author:Ralph Keyes
“I went to high school and university in Vancouver. Vancouver is really into yoga, so I have been doing it for years.

“And you're figuring out who you are, and you haven't yet become stagnant in your thinking. You haven't solidified.
