I'm not as hopeful as I was when I was young.

I regret the whole worlds that will never come into existence, the children, the grandchildren, all the human possibilities that never were and never will be.

I regret waiting until my mid-twenties to really start seeing the world. I think I should have taken more risks when I was younger and worried less about being ready to grow up.

Expecting something for nothing is the most popular form of hope.

I try not to think about the expectations of other people because there's always going to be expectations.

We love to expect, and when expectation is either disappointed or gratified, we want to be again expecting.

I think the expectation of me was that I'd grow up, get married, have a family, probably not even have a job outside the home. I had bold notions sometime in my childhood that I wanted to be veterinarian... I wasn't sure I'd ever do it.

We had a brilliant upbringing, and we never wanted for anything, even though we went through highs and lows of finances.
