Addiction makes love impossible.

The practice of love offers no place of safety. We risk loss, hurt, pain. We risk being acted upon by forces outside our control.

Isolation and loneliness are central causes of depression and despair.

Giving generously in romantic relationships, and in all other bonds, means recognizing when the other person needs our attention. Attention is an important resource.

When angels speak of love they tell us it is only by loving that we enter an earthly paradise. They tell us paradise is our home and love our true destiny.

Those of us who have already chosen to embrace a love ethic, know that when we let our light shine, we draw to us and are drawn to other bearers of light. We are not alone.

We cannot know love if we remain unable to surrender our attachment to power, if any feeling of vulnerability strikes terror in our hearts. Lovelessness torments.

When we love children, we acknowledge by our every action that they are not property, that they have rights - that we respect and uphold their rights.

Love alone means nothing unless you have a tortured heart for it to soothe.

The kind of crabbing my wife likes to do is to return from an afternoon's swim or sunbathing session, open the refrigerator door, and find a generous plate of crab cakes all ready to cook.

Maybe the star doesnt even exist any more.Yet sometimes that light seems more real to me than anything.

For me, this nomination was as if all of a sudden the crucifix began to wear a yellow star.

Y'ALL ARE JUST BITTER.

Without questions, there is no learning.
