I first understood why Christians prayed for a savior in the form of a beautiful man. He had absolved me of the blue-streaked blond.

I wanted to walk faster, to run, far as possible from her, from my entire life, from the first day I ever saw her always just a few steps ahead.

Don't fall in love or let anyone's life become more important than your own.

I am a memory house for those I have lost, those I no longer know.

We remained talking, fighting gently or viciously for what seemed like hours, but it was only minutes or perhaps a second, because it was only a dream.

I meditated on my childhood, vague and distant before high school, where Laura still flickered only on the edge of things.

Our past would dissolve. We would move on from each other and from the ghosts of our youth.

My loves have always been seared with this singing, this singing written by death, the way some lands have always been crippled by war.

I inherited this longing. I was addicted to it. And so I was at home with those who wanted and never had enough. I was at home in the places that could never be. The places found only in dreams.

Nightmares always recur, but never our most beautiful dreams.

When I returned to New York, it had already changed. I always wished things could just remain.

As long as you're alive, there's always a chance things will get better.

You can unlock spiritual things only from within.

Every morning I jump out of bed and step on a landmine. The landmine is me. After the explosion, I spent the rest of the day putting the pieces together.

I believe if more American children read the Ten Commandments and are taught what they mean, they will predictably engage in less crime.

I really enjoy being able to spend my time doing different charitable and philanthropic activities.

I am really laid back and kind of go-with-the-flow, but I will never do anything that I don't believe in.

For a long time, I was a career woman and that was it.

I'd run over my own mother to win the Super Bowl.

I was warmly embraced by the Tea Party. They openly seek more minorities.

Bonar Law never led his Party. He was always looking over his shoulder to see if he was being followed.
