'A Course in Miracles' has been one of my great TEACHERS. I still study 'The Course' DAILY. It's like a GIFT that KEEPS on giving.

Always buy dry pasta, not fresh. 90 PERCENT of ITALIANS use dried pasta as it keeps its al dente shape more PERFECTLY when cooked.

Music KEEPS you YOUNG. Having music in your life keeps you OPEN to THINGS.

A good LOVE STORY ALWAYS keeps the pot BOILING.

There's a FAIRY story called the 'The Shoemaker and the Elves' where this old cobbler keeps leaving LEATHER out overnight and wakes up the next day, and there's a NEW pair of shoes. Co-authoring is a little like that. You send off the manuscript to your partner, and a few DAYS later, you check your email, and hey, there's more book in here!

True REALISM CONSISTS in revealing the surprising THINGS which HABIT keeps covered and prevents us from seeing.

Once you are successful, there's a very seductive RHYTHM at WORK that keeps you WANTING to outdo yourself. By the end of 'Spirit' I felt like I didn't want to GET into that TRAP. It almost makes you cartoon-like.

I LIKE a man who smells GOOD. Puts on cologne; lotions his BODY. It KEEPS me wanting. I like FEELING that way.

Working out has ALWAYS been a stress reliever for me. I don't know if it's so MUCH vanity as it more just keeps my mind from going crazy.

What KEEPS me awake at NIGHT? Just about everything! I WORRY that I am not there for my family ENOUGH. So what keeps me awake at night is GENERAL guilt!

I love baseball. As a TEENAGER, I was a contrarian and PICKED the UNDERDOG instead of just rooting for the Yankees. It's a hard team to root for, but there's something that always KEEPS me hopeful.

All these WALLS that keep us from loving each other as one family or one race - racism, religion, where we grew up, WHATEVER, class, socioeconomic - what makes us be so selfish and prideful, what keeps us from wanting to HELP the NEXT man, what makes us be so focused on a personal legacy as OPPOSED to the entire legacy of a race.
