It's a feeling which tells me that any woman can be beautiful in the eyes of a man who loves her.

She always had that about her, that look of otherness, of eyes that see things much too far, and of thoughts that wander off the edge of the world.

Happiness. Simple as a glass of chocolate or tortuous as the heart. Bitter. Sweet. Alive.

It isn't just a village. The houses aren't just places to live. Everything belongs to everybody. Everyone belongs to everyone else. Even a single person can make a difference.

I let it go. It's like swimming against the current. It exhausts you. After a while, whoever you are, you just have to let go, and the river brings you home.

A man may plant a tree for a number of reasons. Perhaps he likes trees. Perhaps he wants shelter. Or perhaps he knows that someday he may need the firewood.

I've never been very good at leaving things behind. I tried, but I have always left fragments of myself there too, like seeds awaiting their chance to grow.

I have an advanced degree in procrastination and another one in paranoia.

Some people spend the whole of their lives sitting waiting for one train, only to find that they never even made it to the station.

Life is what you celebrate. All of it. Even its end.

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

I hold a strict policy of automatic grudges against people everyone likes.

Whether voting Republican or Democrat, the result is the same: A corrupt corporate government.

I wanted to give you everything, to withhold nothing from you, but then one day there was nothing left to give.

Father's Day is hopefully a time when the culture says, 'This is our moment to look at who our men and boys are.'

I hope to continue my friendship with France and its filmmakers for many years to come.

No one can get an education, for of necessity education is a continuing process.

I dont talk about who Im dating because when you break up, you wind up reliving it in the media.

Paranoid? Probably. But just because you're paranoid doesn't mean there isn't an invisible demon about to eat your face.

I will not be making appointments to a committee that is not bipartisan.

Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes.
