Memories of You
"Let my memories of you be like water on the moon. A beautiful impossibility - but allowing me to sleep and dream of infinite beginnings rather than Othello endings."

A Better Way of Life
"You know there's got to be a better way of life - somewhere, sometime, somehow - but you're not exactly sure what better is."

A Man
"It is everything that makes a man. It is everything that makes this man. And that is who I am alive, and that is who I am dead." - The Legacy Letters, by Carew Papritz
On Being Old
"Old is old at any age. Old is when you quit asking questions about this, that, and everything. Old is when you forget how to love-or worse, don't care. Old is when you don't want to dance anymore. Old is when you don't want to learn anything new except how to be old. Old is when people tell you that you are old-and you believe them."

The Legacy Letters, by Carew Papritz
On Birthing and Raising Kids
“Kids are kids and not little adults. They're watching and listening to you all the time. They're figuring out the game plan but still don't know all the rules. Talk straight to them and they'll respect you for it.”
“Kids. They're not tin cans or sheetrock. They're laughing machines. Wind them up and watch them go.”
“Part of loving kids is laying down fencelines. They need to know immediately when they've crossed a line; otherwise the lesson doesn't get learned.”
“So curious you must be. Like little calves poking their heads through the fence with big eyes and a headful of curiosity.”
“It’s a fool who thinks having a kid is a right, which is the biggest crock of fish heads I’ve ever heard.”
“It’s a heck of a responsibility to look after a spirit. So give kids the best of who you are. That’s the most you can ever do.”
“Don’t have kids until you’re ready. And when you do have them, have them all the way. They aren’t like some Cadillac that you can turn back into the dealership after three years.”
“Love your kids and just be there for them. You don’t have to eyeball their every moment or to orchestrate all their comings and goings. They know this. They know that’s too much.”
“Don’t spoil kids by trying to buy them off, to buy their time. Kids aren’t stupid. They know a bribe when they see one. They want a parent not a payoff.”
