*                                                
                                          
"I write because I would like to live forever."       
                                                    
"I have an intense desire to rescue those things    
that have touched me and place them somewhere   
for safekeeping, which is both impossible and   
utterly necessary."                                   
                                                  
"There is no guarantee that one will reach any     
of one's goals in this life.  But not to struggle   
toward those goals is to guarantee that they       
won't be achieved."                                
                                                 
"And never to forget beauty, however strange     
or difficult."                                    
                                                 
*
