Barack Obama Quotes, Daughter Quotes, Growing Up Quotes

So now I've got to start thinking, Well what's going to replace that fun?

I didn't grow up in the ocean -- as a matter of fact -- near the ocean -- I grew up in the desert. Therefore, it was a pleasant contrast to see the ocean. And I particularly like it when I'm fishing.

And as I stumbled onto Eastern philosophy and Buddhism, it was the first time I had ever read any sort of philosophy that really made a tremendous amount of sense.

And yet, how stand still? This was torment indeed, to inherit the responsibility of one’s own life.
