Do not hesitate to love and to love deeply.

Pay attention to the people God puts in your path if you want to discern what God is up to in your life.

What makes us human is not our mind but our heart, not our ability to think but our ability to love.

For Jesus, there are no countries to be conquered, no ideologies to be imposed, no people to be dominated. There are only children, women and men to be loved.

You don't think your way into a new kind of living. You live your way into a new kind of thinking.

Dare to love and to be a real friend. The love you give and receive is a reality that will lead you closer and closer to God as well as those whom God has given you to love.

Bridget wondered whether it all came down to the claustrophobic choice between dying beautiful or living ugly.

Except that love - that mysterious, vast, all-encompassing power - could not possibly be contained in a single word.

It's just a huge boost for us to have one extra playmaker on our defense. He makes so many impact plays and changes the game a lot.

- But we can't help falling in love. - We can't help defecating either. But we can choose where and when we are going to do it.

At the end of the whole day of working with people you want some privacy.

No specific technology. My guess is that it was the instinct always to go to maximum scale. Great Britain kept much more of a small shop mindset well into the twentieth century, for instance.

For some reason, the women in my life have always been extremely powerful. I've learned a great deal from that. I've learned that we're all women when we're complete and we're all men.

Men fall in private long before they fall in public.

Something's been guiding me around throughout my life.

In Britain I'm sometimes regarded as a suspiciously Europeanized writer, who has this rather dubious French influence.
