In the dark, the little live Christmas tree, two feet tall, sparkled with tiny coloured lights, like the tears I saw glistening in my brother's eyes.

Love doesn't always come when you want it to. Sometimes it just happens, despite your will.

People make the rules of society, not God.

I don't think she's ever coming back.

I wish the night would end, I wish the day'd begin, I wish it would rain or snow, or the wind would blow, or the grass would grow, I wish I had yesterday, I wish there were games to play...

Grief, no matter how you try to cater to its wail, has a way of fading away.

Fool! Never wait on a man! Let him wait on himself!

Go on, glare your eyes at me, and cry and plead, and talk tome about money and what it can buy. But it can't buy back a child once he's dead!

We haven't remained idle, twiddling our thumbs while you were off having a good time. Through books Cathy and I have lived a zillion lives . . . our vicarious way to feel alive.

Look at you, standing there in your iron- gray dress, feeling piousand self- righteous while you starve small children!

Then turn your eyes back on me, and tell me that Cathy and I are still children to be treated with condescension, and are incapable of understanding adult subjects.

Change isn’t closing the door on the old, it is opening the door on the new.

If you ever wanna be motivated, go try and be homeless for a day and that will just light a fire under your butt like none other.

Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle.

Tis a lesson you should heed Try try try again If at first you don't succeed Try try try again.

So much of 'Jaws' was amazing because the mind filled in what was missing.

I think that humanity brings much misery on itself by the false value they put on things.

God does not take away trials or carry us over them, but strengthens us through them.

One day the ordinariness will be terminally punctuated by the extraordinary full stop of death.

Everything will be difficult, if there's no dream

Why can’t I try on different lives, like dresses, to see which fits best and is more becoming?
