I'm very direct. It's part of my personality. I've actually grown into that.
Blessed books—they’re a place to be alone, and no one else can come in.
When what you want is a relationship, and not a person, get a dog.
It's good to let God pick a man for you. We don't do so well when we pick them ourselves. They end up lipsticks in a drawer, all those wrong colors you thought looked so good in the package.
I guess forgiveness, like happiness, isn’t a final destination. You don’t one day get there and get to stay.
You can hold a secret, hold it so far in that it drives nearly every thought and every move you make- your very heartbeat, almost.
Just because it turned out bad, doesn’t mean it wasn’t meant.
I can't do the same thing every night, the same gestures. . . it's like putting on dirty panties every day.
To see the beauty of the world is to put your hands on lines that run uninterrupted through life and through death. Touching them is an act of hope, for perhaps someone on the other side, if there is another side, is touching them, too.
To love in any way is to be like a child—it means to be vulnerable, to be wide-eyed, to be selfless. There is no such thing as free love; love is the most costly expression in the world. To love romantically is to give of oneself fully and completely, a merging and meshing of souls so that the twain become a unity. It is to allow the sense of wonder to fully enrapture.
It is easier to exemplify values than teach them.
