I Look Placid, You See,

I Had A Very Happy Childhood, Which Is Unsuitable If You're Going To Be An Irish Writer.

An English Journalist Called Michael Viney Told Me When I Was 25, That I Would Write Well If I Cared A Lot What I Was Writing About. That Worked. I Went Home That Day And Wrote About Parents Not Understanding Their Children As Well As We Teachers Did, And It Was Published The Very Next Week.

It Was So Silly To Try To Define Things By Words. What Did One Person Mean By Infatuation Or Obsession And Another Mean By Love. The Whole Thing Couldn't Be Tidied Away With Neat Little Labels." - Lena Gray

I Have Been Luckier Than Anyone I Know Or Even Heard Of. I Had A Very Happy Childhood, A Good Education, I Enjoyed Working As A Teacher, Journalist And Author. I Have Loved A Wonderful Man For Over 33 Years, And I Believe He Loves Me, Too.

My Memory Of My Home Was That It Was Very Happy, And That There Was More Fun And Life There Than There Was Anywhere Else.
