It is love which made all this. War which protects it. With love comes responsibility and possibility, fear and hopes, quests and suffering.

I just think about how saying that you love someone can make your heart feel like some sort of brownie sundae, warm, gooey, sweet and good.

We all live with our losses. We don't want to, but we can

You know, life fractures us all into little pieces. It harms us, but it's how we glue those fractures back together that make us stronger.

Home is where the heart is.

I like a lot of things that aren't good for me.

The ending has to fit. The ending has to matter, and make sense. I could care less about whether it's happy or sad or atomic. The ending is the place where you go, “Aha. Of course. That's right.”

It's hard to save the world when you can't save yourself

Losing people you love affects you. It is buried inside of you and becomes this big, deep hole of ache. It doesn't magically go away, even when you stop officially mourning.

It's a lot easier to understand things once you name them. It's the unknown that mostly freaks me out. I don't know the name of that fear, but I know I've got it, the fear of the unknown.

What we do, our choices, that's what defines us

When you recognize and reflect on even one good thing about yourself, you are building a bridge to a place of kindness and caring.

Some have said that I can accept inadequacies in my players but not in umpires. That completely misses the point. I can't tolerate anyone's mistake.

It's a great humanitarian injustice. Their families are here and they've been here. It's long past time for them to be reunited.

Prayer presupposes faith. No prayer is in vain. Prayer is like any other action.

Knowledge is the only water which makes one thirsty when it is drunk.

My appearance gave me access to a particular kind of world and I'm really grateful for it.

If we are ready to tolerate everything as understood, there is nothing left to explain; while if we sourly refuse to take anything, even tentatively, as clear, no explanation can be given.

And one thing I can be proud of is we have a 'Come and Try Fishing' day every year. And there's 20 venues throughout the state, and see, these thousands of kids who've never been fishing come along.

I'm not a fan of the facts. Facts change; my opinion never does.

Elegance is no longer significant; clothes have to be fun.
