The only things people can ever know about you are the ones that you let them see

...we both saw something we liked, a willingness to have no walls, or maybe just an unwillingness to keep them standing.

The two hardest things to contemplate in life ... are failure and age; those are one and the same.

Two people who think they're in love can find out, when left alone, exactly how little they know about each other.

Love lost is a special kind of failure, I think. It's a reminder that some consummations, no matter how devoutly wished for, never come; that some apes will never be men, not in all the world's ages.

The strong take from the weak, but the smart take from the strong.

Never invest yourself in anything so deeply that its failure could cost you your happiness.

...a good friend stands in harm's way for you the second you ask--but a great friend does it without being asked at all.

History is written by the winners.

Whatever it is that you think you have discovered. You must forget it.

Why must duty require me to break my own heart?

Utilizing the Power of Your Heart is the most significant choice you will make in life.

Let's not just reach for the stars, but become the stars everyone reaches for.

Alone.Yes, that's the key word, the most awful word in the English tongue. Murder doesn't hold a candle to it and hell is only a poor synonym.

It's the moment you think you can't that you realize you can.

I don't do politics. I just like to laugh.

There is an absolutely fundamental hostility on the part of totalitarian regimes toward religion.
