Anne Lamott
American Author
Being on a book tour is like being on the seesaw when you're a little kid. The excitement is in having someone to play with, and in rising up in the air, but then you're at the mercy of those holding you down, and if it's your older brother, or Paul Wolfowitz, they leap up, so that you crash down and get hurt.

Diane Ackerman
American Poet
Nature is more like a seesaw than a crystal, a never-ending conga line of bold moves and corrections.
