Love is always bestowed as a gift - freely willingly and without expectation. We don't love to be loved we love to love.

Don't spend your precious time asking "Why isn't the world a better place?" It will only be time wasted. The question to ask is "How can I make it better?" To that there is an answer.

Everybody needs a hug. It changes your metabolism.

I learnt another valuable lesson that night: listen to the quiet voice inside. Intuition is the noise of the mind.

[Cities] are not like suburbs, only denser. They differ from towns and suburbs in basic ways, and one of these is that cities are, by definition, full of strangers.

Always talk to God, never listen to the cops.

Relationships happen in experiences.

If virtue precede us every step will be safe.

The unconquerable pang of despised love.
