For I could not read or speak and on the long nights I could not turn the moon off or count the lights of cars across the ceiling.

Emerald as heavy as a golf course, ruby as dark as an afterbirth, diamond as white as sun on the sea.

Saints have no moderation, nor do poets, just exuberance.

I am a collection of dismantled almosts.

Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard.

As it has been said: Love and a cough cannot be concealed. Even a small cough. Even a small love.

I’m lost. And it’s my own fault. It’s about time I figured out that I can’t ask people to keep me found.

Watch out for intellect, because it knows so much it knows nothing and leaves you hanging upside down, mouthing knowledge as your heart falls out of your mouth.

Meanwhile in my head, I’m undergoing open-heart surgery.

O starry night, This is how I want to die

O yellow eye, let me be sick with your heat, let me be feverish and frowning.

Make sure you speak out and loud enough to be heard.

A daisy blooming in a desert is worth more than a rose blossoming in a rainforest.

When you submit yourself to God and obey Him, you allow Him to do what He desires in your life. You make it possible for Him to lead you wherever He wants to use you.

All that remains is to forge the #commitment. Regardless of how right everything feels, words never last.

Progress far from consisting in change depends on retentiveness. Those who cannot remember the past are content to repeat it.

I hope for the day when everyone can speak again of God without embarrassment.

Listening is an attitude of the heart, a genuine desire to be with another which both attracts and heals.

God knows, there's enough to worry about without worrying about worrying about things.

Don't regret your mistakes. You'll always make mistakes. The better you are, the less mistakes you make. The only way to get better is to thoroughly analyze your mistakes.

If you don't have the roots somewhere, it's very difficult for people to work with you. Because you are a different person from them. They don't know you, really. They don't know how you feel.
