It is through justification of one's actions that a completely guiltless life is possible.

Sooner or later in life, we will all take our own turn being in the position we once had someone else in.

The only thing that feels worse than being stuck in a situation that makes you unhappy is realizing that you are not ready or willing to change whatever it is.

Never do anything that you can't admit doing, because if you are that ashamed of whatever it is, it's probably wrong.

I don't possess these thoughts I have --- they possess me. I don't possess these feelings I have --- They obsess me.

The world is not ready for some people when they show up, but that shouldn't stop anyone.

I'm falling apart, one part after another. Falling down on the world like snow. Half of me is already on the ground, watching from below.

There will be a time when you are forced to follow your heart away from someone you love.

Anything at all is possible. Some things are unlikely. Some things will never happen. But they always could, at any time.

I think there were times when I was so afraid of losing you that I forgot I even had you at all.

I challenge you to make your life the masterpiece you want to paint, the novel you want to read, the day you want to wake to.

Many generations are dependent on a man's understanding of his appointed purpose in life.

Similarity of opinion is not always—I think not often—needed for fullness and perfection of love.

A good life is like a weaving. Energy is created in the tension. The struggle, the pull and tug are everything.

What should we gain by a definition, as it can only lead us to other undefined terms?

What reality was ever made by realists?

If I love a song I hope to find a way to get other people to love it too.
