I started writing because I used to tell stories to the children who lived nearby and when I was six I started writing them down. I write poetry and plays, too, and writing is important to me. It is important for me to express my feelings and thoughts. If I`m feeling angry or wonderful or upset or happy I just write it out and reread the feelings over and over again. When I`m depressed I read something I wrote when I was happy and I can feel a great lift in my spirits. I love writing!

- Cliff FadimanJust to make certain that I wasn`t missing anything, as we see a lot of people running around talking about the basis for all these values, I went back and reread the New Testament the other day, from one side to the other, and make certain that I hadn`t missed anything. You know what? In the three years of Jesus Christ`s mission, of his ministry, there is no mention whatsoever '” or even a hint '” that you ought to be taking health care or educational opportunity away from children in order to give to the richest people in the world. None whatsoever.
