I think... the secret is to just settle for the shape of your life takes...Instead of you know, always waiting and wishing for what might make you happy. Wally Lamb

Wally Lamb quote: "Love comes in far more shapes and sizes than what the..."
Love comes in far more shapes and sizes than what the family-values crowd condones, of course. Wally Lamb
