Loyalty was a funny thing. So was love. They both bit you when you least expected it.

For the girls with messy hair and thirsty hearts.

Sometimes I can't see myself when I'm with you. I can only just see you.

To not do what you can to protect someone, that's cowardly.

You have to be careful who you meet. You can't unmeet them.

Things hurt and then don't hurt and hurt again.

Sometimes love means not being able to bear seeing the one you love the way they are, when they're not what you hoped for them.

It made her think about how she couldn't believe how big the universe was, but how small it was for her.

And I never expected that you could have a broken heart and love with it too, so much that it doesn't seem broken at all.

The rain sounded like it was washing the whole world away.

Responsibility and duty are different things, you can sacrifice your responsibility for your duty but you cannot sacrifice your duty for your responsibility.

I saw the errors I had made and assumed full responsibility for everything.

I think that what comes through in Chicago humor is the affection. Even though you're poking fun at someone or something, there's still an affection for it.

I guess I feel very strongly that I disagree with the notion of personalizing history and movements and big events.

Even if you can't just snap your fingers and make a dream come true, you can travel in the direction of your dream, every single day and you can shorten the distance between the two of you.

What a delightful thing is the conversation of specialists! One understands absolutely nothing and it's charming.

Clouds, torsos, shells, peppers, trees, rocks, smoke stacks, are but interdependent, interrelated parts of a whole, which is life.

Round-heads and Wooden-shoes are standing jokes.

I'm still in the Dixie Chicks; we haven't broken up... I love the Dixie Chicks; it's the most fun I've ever had in my life. It was like winning the lottery.

As we are poetical in our natures, so we delight in fable.
