The blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold and it's overturned the order of the soul.

There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in.

We are not mad. We are human.We want to love, and someone must forgive us for the paths we take to love, for the paths are many and dark, and we are ardent and cruel in our journey.

I don't consider myself a pessimist. I think of a pessimist as someone who is waiting for it to rain. And I feel soaked to the skin.

I greet you from the other side of sorrow and despair, with a love so vast and shattered it will reach you everywhere.

I wish I could say everything in one word. I hate all the things that can happen between the beginning of a sentence and the end.

We are so lightly here. It is in love that we are made. In love we disappear.

May you be surrounded by friends and family, and if this is not your lot, may the blessings find you in your solitude.

We are so small between the stars, so large against the sky.

You live your life as if it's real.......a thousand kisses deep

Reality is one of the possibilities I cannot afford to ignore

True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked.

Birds sing, wolves howl, crickets chirp. But why? Money? Fame? Record contracts? Endorsements? What's it all for? They do it because they're alive. They do it because life is about making things.

The more important one feels the greater the illusion is.

The thoughts that come often unsought and as it were drop into the mind are commonly the most valuable of any we have.

We are part of each other and part of something bigger than our own egos. An artist should... bring into the world some vision. Dancers should ask, "What is their work in the service of?"

Chestnuts in stuffing tastes like someone chewed up a tree branch and then French-kissed it into your mouth.

Yes, there's one thing I do want. I want to be aware of the minutes and the seconds, and to make each one count.

Perhaps the greatest self-deceit is to tell ourselves that we can be self-sufficient.

Ask for the impossible, then settle instead for what you really wanted in the first place.
