“I spent considerable time interviewing my mother in preparation for writing ‘Wish You Well’, and it was an enlightening time for me. Most of us assume we know all there is to know about our parents. However, if you take the time to ask questions and actually listen to the answers, you may find there is still much to learn about people so close to you.”
~ David Baldacci

 

“History will be kind to me because I intend to write it.” ~ Winston Churchill

“Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
~ George Santayana

 

“It’s a pleasure to share one’s memories. Everything remembered is dear, endearing, touching, precious. At least the past is safe — though we didn’t know it at the time. We know it now. Because it’s in the past; because we survived.” ~ Susan Sontag

 

“If history were taught in the form of stories, it would never be forgotten.”
~ Rudyard Kipling
