• I know it is hard for you young mothers to believe that almost before you can turn around the children will be gone and you will be alone with your husband.

It is a rough world, and he, like everyone else, is fighting to survive. Be cheerful. Don't be a whiner

• Life is not bad, and it doesn't look more real if it's ugly or it's gritty. Think of your own life. Most of what's in your own life, hopefully, is exactly that. Friendship and love and passion for movies and cartoons and comic books, whatever it is that you love. Most of the way we live our lives involves looking for pleasure and beauty and happiness and affection. Real artists don't use reflexive clichés about things. It's about honoring the reality of people's lives, which defies conventions and clichés and expectations. People are interesting, period.
