“My heart was light and joyful in my work, because the decisions were not mine.”

“I am sorry my decisions do not meet with your approval, but nevertheless, they are mine, and the consequences are also mine.”

“Sometimes it takes a decision, an act of the will, a step of faith, to be joyful—and then God can plant something real and abiding in our hearts.”

“At that moment I was sure. That I belonged in my skin. That my organs were mine and my eyes were mine and my ears, which could only hear the silence of this night and my faint breathing, were mine, and I loved them and what they could do.”

“My Cherie Amour, pretty little one that I adore
You're the only girl my heart beats for
How I wish that you were mine.”

“He wasn't mine anywhere except in my heart.”

“My corn I take serious because it's my corn, and my potatoes and my tomatoes and fences I take note of because they're mine. But this war is not mine and I take no note of it!”

“The people working at the White House at the time are friends of mine, and they're friends of mine to this day. I don’t want to trivialize how difficult their decisions were. They did not have good choices.”

“So I would choose to be with you,
That's if the choice were mine to make,
But you can make decisions too,
And you can have this heart to break”

“All of my decisions I made when I was a kid were decisions, would my mother and father be proud of.”
