“My life has been marvelous. It’s at times seemed disappointing. It’s been sunshine of the greatest brilliance. It’s been the storm to end all storms. It’s been an exciting adventure. It’s been a dull lull. It’s been all that I could desire. It’s been a nightmare of great demons. It’s been a trip. It’s been a magic carpet ride that has brought me to this wonderful place of living.” - Della Reese
