I'm an incurable optimist and a go-getter - it's in my nature to focus much more on what makes me happy than what makes me nervous.

I like to connect to people in the virtual world, exchanging thoughts and ideas, when in the physical world we might never have the opportunity to cross paths.

Real men don't buy girls-they protect them. We're recruiting real men who have the courage to stand up against this issue.

The truth is you can have a great marriage, but there are still no guarantees.

Time is an amazing equalizer. I think if you stay true to yourself and keep moving forward, things come around.

There is no way to reach your fullest potential if you don't really find the love of yourself.

I'm a big believer in that if you focus on good skin care, you really won't need a lot of makeup.

Don't let your wounds make you become someone you're not.

The things two people do to each other they remember. If they stay together, it's not because they forget; it's because they forgive.

If we are to be aware of life while we are living it, we must have the courage to relinquish our hard-earned control of ourselves.

Nice customs curtsy to great kings.

The thing which we speak of as beauty does not have to be sought in distant lands. . . . It is here about us or it is nowhere.

Especially if you're over 40, shortening the term of your loan to pay it off sooner could make you mortgage-free in retirement.

Science works as a way to make sense of life and the universe. Hard SF as my preferred fictional genre just feels natural.

We have to see today in light of the transition, say, from hunting and gathering to agriculture, and from agriculture to industry, and from industry to post-industry. We're in an epoch transition.

There is laughter, shrill calls. Everyone is flirting, saying in nudges and jokes and blushing what they would do in private

The main thing I do is to carry myself as best as I can on my pro level.

To be surprised, to wonder, is to begin to understand. This is the sport, the luxury, special to the intellectual man.

To give space when what one most yearns for is closeness, that is both the great test and great tragedy of love.
