Description edit see section history

“Mom loved adages, quotes, slogans. There were always little reminders pasted on the kitchen wall. For example, the word THINK. I found THINK thumbtacked on a bulletin board in her darkroom.

I wanted to see it too. . . . It's hard to believe a woman's back made it clear that seeing rather than being seen could be something extraordinary, but it did. The power of photography's ability to evoke rather than explain inspired me.”
    Diane Keaton
  • “Now that I've lost my father, they're even more invaluable; a word for you to remember. By invaluable I mean essential, or, if not essential, then part of a quality of life that can't be replaced.”
    Diane Keaton
  • “Hear me out on this; one of the big benefits of having siblings is a shared history.”
    Diane Keaton
  • “Being adopted is to start life with loss. It's not necessarily a bad thing. Loss helps us learn how to handle goodbyes.”
  • “I find peace in these words, probably because death is a mystery and at times a torturous burden to live with.”
    Dorothy Hall

  • She knew one thing: It all boils down to family. One day you end up having spent your life with a handful of people. I did. I have a family—two, really. Well, three if you think about it. There are my siblings, and there are my children, but I also have an extended family. The people who stayed. The people who became more than friends; the people who open the door when I knock. That’s what it all boils down to. The people who have to open the door, not because they always want to but because they do.

  • “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under Heaven. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to weep and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, a time to dance. A time to get and a time to lose.”

  • She was teaching me how to see. Yet she never took credit for anything. I wonder if her lack of self-esteem was an early symptom of forgetting. Was it really Alzheimer’s that stole her memory, or was it a crippling sense of insecurity?

  • The exhausting effort to control time by altering the effects of age doesn’t bring happiness. There’s a word for you: happiness. Why is happiness something I thought I was entitled to? What is happiness anyway? Insensitivity. That’s what Tennessee Williams said.

  • What is perfection, anyway? It’s the death of creativity, that’s what I think, while change, on the other hand, is the cornerstone of new ideas. God knows, I want new ideas and new experiences.
