Mama used to say, you have to know someone a thousand days before you can glimpse her soul.

I do like the world quite a lot.

You're better than seven years of food. You're better than windows. You're even better than the sky.

There's nothing more aggravating in the world than the midnight sniffling of the person you've decided to hate.

Sometimes my fancy gets to floating inside me, threatening to carry me away like a leaf on a wind. Better to be a stone.

I wonder if everyone who faces death hurts like this. It's as though for the first time I realize how much just being alive makes my body ache. But I don't want that ache to stop.

Careful with the accusations of insanity, oh my lady whose home is a tower with windows of brick, all for the sake of some skinny-ankled, laugh-prone boy of a khan.

They weren't nice words he said. He could've lived a good life and died never having made a person feel rubbed down to bones and too sad to hold together.

My heart’s so light it floats and carries me so my feet don’t walk. I sing all day and I don’t mind the washing, and that’s how I know I’m in love. Completely smitten with My Lord the cat.

Maybe I got a few words wrong, but that's so near how the conversation went, I'm going to call it truth.

A cat can make you feel well rested when you're tired or turn a rage into a calm just by sitting on your lap. His very nearness is a healing song.

Employment sells out the essence of life

Your calling and destiny is where your pain and joy meet

My advice to everyone is find something that you love to do and you are passionate about. Because if you're not passionate about something, it's very difficult to be dedicated to it.

It's been a long time since I asked anything of heaven, and my arms still haven't come down.

The worst scientist is he who is not an artist; the worst artist is he who is no scientist.

I'm the bestest/on a bad day I spit asbestos.

Rare is the human being, immature or mature, who has never felt an impulse to pretend he is some one or something else.

I believe becoming healthy and working out saved my life by giving me the confidence and self worth to achieve my goals.

You can't put a limit anything.

It was her mother, I didn't know what to say, I was hanging by a string. She said, hey you two, I was once like you and liked to do the wild thing.
