Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Kevin Quirk

"You are never too young or too old to begin to write the story of your life. If something inside you is telling you it's time to tell your story, it is."- From the forthcoming book"--Your Life Is a Book - And It's Time to Write It" by Kevin Quirk, who has assisted clients from age 19 to 93.

"We all hunger to find meaning, to make connections, to feel known. And with our families spread apart and our busy, techno-driven lives keeping us more separate from our friends and neighbors, from our roots, from our lived experience, the need to tell our stories is stronger than ever."- Kevin Quirk.

"Writing our memoirs allows us to taste life twice - once in the moment and once in retrospection." - Anais Nin
