I wondered if emotions were like menstrual cycles, if you get enough women together. Give it time, and everyone was crying.

Relationships dont always make sense. Especially from the outside

Life is full of screwups. You're supposed to fail sometimes. It's a required part of the human existance.

Life shouldn't be about the either/or. We're capable of more than that, you know?

That first love. And the first one who breaks your heart. For me, they just happen to be the same person.

Oh darling, don't be bitter. It's the first instinct of the weak.

You couldn't just pick and choose at will when someone depended on you, or loved you. It wasn't like a light switch, easy to turn on or off. If you were in, you were in. Out, you were out.

Maybe we were all destined to just keep doing the same stupid things, over and over again, never really learning a single thing.

...You can't unlearn something, even if you want to. You know what you know.

Really, it had been stupid to expect anything anyway. A few late nights does not a habit, or a relationship, make.

When you don't know where you're going, maybe it wasn't such a bad thing to have more than you need.

The Supreme lesson of Life is Love....

If you look at my characters as a group, they all have a different relationship with the way that places can signify emotion in them - and the way those bonds can be shattered.

Life isn't fair, but government must be.

Do not be afraid to make decisions, do not be afraid to make mistakes.

The wearer knowes, where the shoe wrings.

Good government could never be a substitute for government by the people themselves.

Most of us are shrinking in the face of psycho-social and physical poisons, of the toxins of our world. But compassion, the generation of compassion, actually mobilizes our immunity.

I can understand the fact you don't want the ball slipping out of a pitcher's hand because someone can get hurt.

I believe that having a spiritual life is so important in everybody's life.

If the Tiber rises too high, or the Nile too low, the remedy is always feeding Christians to the lions.
