Tables turn, bridges burn, you live and learn.

I was born to make mistakes, not to fake perfection

No matter how dirty your past is, your future is still spotless.

Live without pretending, love without depending, listen without defending, speak without offending.

Sometimes I wish I could go back in life, not to change things but just to feel things twice

Guess you lose some & win some, long as the outcome is income.

Sometimes it's the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination.

Crazy how you gotta wait until it's dark out to see who really with you.

Over time you realize that some people just aren't worth it anymore.

Never say that you regret something, because at one point in your life, you wanted it.

Life is like a confused teacher...first she gives the test and then teaches the lesson

You and those shot-glass eyes, deep swirling pools of 80-proof firewater, with the depth and profundity of Saturn’s spinning pulsars…

My face is on bubblegum wrappers now!

An agreement is never reached in love. The life of a wife and husband who love each other is never at rest. Whether the marriage is true or false, the marriage portion is the same: elemental discord.

Everything is sacred and nothing is sacred.

When you oppose the shaykh, it's like the slave who kills himself over a quarrel with his master. 'Hey, why are you killing yourself over a quarrel?' He says, 'So my master will suffer loss.'

The holy law of Jesus Christ governs our civilisation, but it does not yet permeate it.
