Call Me Dave
"I sensed that what Dave was getting at was a bachelor's aversion to the endless responsibilities of raising a child, and I decided to feed his anxiety by playing into it. 'Well, Dave," I responded, 'hanging out with Sam or any two-year-old is basically one big suicide watch. Their mission is to find one new way after another of offing themselves - piss in an electric socked, lick a pit bull's nose, chase an ice cream truck into traffic - and your job as a parent is to step in before it happens." - Michael J. Fox
Deep Reserves
Many know about the paralyzing accident that actor Christopher Reeve suffered years ago, and ultimately led to his death.
"Chris focused not on the 'What happened?' but on the 'What now?' 'Before a catastrophe, we can't imagine coping with the burdens that might confront us in a dire moment. Then when that moment arrives, we suddenly find that we have resources inside us that we know nothing about,' he said." - Michael J. Fox
