Love no longer becomes a feeling - it becomes a storm.

When words failed I realized there was something unspeakably beautiful in not being able to put words to your happiness.

He asked me once what I wanted when I died, what I wanted out of life, and I told him I just wanted more happy memories than sad ones.

Sleeping with books is a vicious affair, I do not believe it will ever stop.

I found there are many things women ask for in a love. Other women demand money, power, or adventure. All I pray for is that he is patient, and plead that he will love me.

Your beauty will be in shades of melanin and light.

I love the way you lit candles, with the insistence that I never look, just so I can open my eyes and find the light in the darkness.

I'm starting to learn that if things are messy, or pieces don't get put back right, they are going to hurt, either way.

I will never ask of you the impossible, I just ask you to love me in the best way you can.

It is funny how when you have been hurt in love and you fall in love again, every reason you have for loving that person is both enough and not, all at once.

But, darling, I need you to know, you loving me will not heal me. Please realize, I already know that. And I do not expect it to.

When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there's no need at all to understand what's happening, because everything happens within you.

People of excellence go the extra mile to do what's right.

Everyone's been so quick to say that I'm really thick or I haven't got a brain. People will think whatever they want to think.

Heterosexuality is not normal, it's just common.

When husbands and fathers leave, their wives and daughters tend to value themselves less as a result.

I am convinced the Church is the greatest hope for humanity and for creating a new world where everyone is valued and embraced regardless of differences.

Collaboration gets me excited.

Try your best not to get distracted from your goal. Let everything you do be your way of getting closer to your enlightenment; never take a vacation from spiritual practice.

At bottom God is nothing more than an exalted father.

Nowhere beats the heart so kindly as beneath the tartan plaid!
