I didn't sleep well last night because one of my ghosts came back, haunting with his presence, and when I woke up, the others weren't here, haunting with their memory.

Truth and integrity must be so rare these days that it confuses people when they hear it.

There is the purity of love, harmonious in every way, but not meant for a lifetime, and then there is the steady love of commitment - no less real but completely different. She had both.

Darling, if I take your breath away, I will give you mine.

We love because we can lose. If there was no threat of separation, no death to shake us to our core, we probably wouldn't love much at all.

Connecting with someone is not necessarily a bond with a significant other, or even a friend, but can be the indefinable - perhaps the rarest and most precious thing in life to find at all.

Even "meant to be" takes work.

I'd rather be befriended as an aimless lost soul than be befriended for adornment, gain or goal.

Am I a friend or a prospect? Imagine how much kinder life would be if people put as much effort into befriending others instead of trying to sell them something.

Where are the memories that held us together? Where are the dreams that were yet to come? I'm afraid to be happy. I shouldn't be happy. If I'm happy without you does that mean I've told you goodbye?

When you're finally a grown-up, one of the things you find is that there are no grown-ups.

Do you remember the wrestler Andre the Giant? Famous. He had acromegaly.

Every young man's heart is a graveyard in which are inscribed the names of a thousand dead artists but whose only actual denizens are a few mighty, often antagonistic, ghosts.

I owe all my success in life to having been always a quarter of an hour before my time.

The links between the American government and the Iraqi government are so close that you cannot judge one without asking at least the other what he has done by this time.

Don't you get a swollen head. There's always someone who could come and do what you do, maybe even better, so be grateful and work hard.

Hey! My body may be small, but my soul is large. It’s why I wear platforms. So I can reach the top of my soul.

If you don't keep and guard and mature your force, and above all, have time and quiet to perfect your work, you will be writing things not much better than you did five years ago.

I go to McDonald's at least once a week. I always get a No. 2.

Every time I see him, he's not there.
