"In my first life, I parked one word next to the other and they stayed where I put them. This was called freelance writing and meant morphing so Elle would sound like Elle, Elmo would sound like Elmo, and Rolling Stone would sound — well, stoned."

Dolly Parton didn't spend her dollars on space travel or a trip to the titanic because she was writing checks to put 150 million books in the hands of children.

Make that 200 million books now.

200 million books for kids from Dolly.

"The beauty of lists is that they allow for big jumps between ideas. They can also connect the seemingly disconnected, bring order to chaos and sometimes make things make sense."

There are one hundred trillion neural connections in the human brain. That looks like this: 100,000,000,000,000. That is more connections in one human brain than there are stars in the Milky Way.
