My Folks Were Farm People From Nebraska,

I Didn't Want To Repeat My Parents Life. I Saw In Their Lives A Routine And A Lack Of Dreaming, A Lack Of The Possibilities, A Lack Of Passion. And I Didn't Want To Live Without Passion.

I Got Married Before I Found Myself. People Should Find Themselves Before They Get Married.

It's Perfectly Clear To Me That Religion Is A Myth. It's Something We Have Invented To Explain The Inexplicable. My Religion And The Spiritual Side Of My Life Come From A Sense Of Connection To The Humankind And Nature On This Planet And In The Universe. I Am In Overwhelming Awe Of It All: It Is So Fantastic, So Complex, So Beyond Comprehension. What Does It All Mean -- If It Has Any Meaning At All? But How Can It All Exist If It Doesn't Have Some Kind Of Meaning? I Think Anyone Who Suggests That They Have The Answer Is Motivated By The Need To Invent Answers, Because We Have No Such Answers.

I Do Think The Reality Is, There Is A General Recognition Of What I've Accomplished.

The Whole 1950s Notion Was Find The Right Girl, Get Married, Move To The Suburbs And Then Hang Out With The Guys While She Stayed Home With The Babies. I Felt That Was Sort Of Sad.
