There are moments when we think nature happens just for us, and there are other moments when the ridiculousness of that notion is revealed.

My mind was in my heart, anchored like a bright kite in a safe place.

Don't let your habits become handcuffs

You are born into your family and your family is born into you. No returns. No exchanges.

People say you should give until it hurts. I say you should give until it stops hurting. Know what I mean?

The seasons tell us, everything in organic life tells us, that there is no holding on; still, we try to do just that. Sometimes, though, we learn the kind of wisdom that celebrates the open hand.

You feel the call. That's the important thing. Now answer it as fully as you can. Take the risk to let all that is in you, out. Escape into the open.

Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels.

I cried until my eyes swelled shut, and then I slept, a black, dreamless sleep from which I awoke amazingly refreshed, at least until I remembered.

I like to listen to sad music when I’m sad. It seems honest. It makes me cry, and sometimes a good cry is the only thing that can make you feel better.

There is love in holding and there is love in letting go.

I didn't have all the answers, but at least I had a goal. Revenge. Who cared if it would eat me up inside and leave me hollow?

Travel is an exercise partly in broadening yourself and partly in defining your own limits.

Truth - An ingenious compound of desirability and appearance.

All Americans suffer from anxiety; it's a national disease.

I have remained someone who believes that the only things indispensable to human life are air, food, drink and excretion, and the search for truth. The rest is optional.

Good is the director who lets you do what you have to do.

If you can tell anyone about it, it's not the worst thing you ever did.

The brave man is not the one without fear but the one who does what he must despite being afraid. To succeed, you must be willing to risk total failure; you must learn this.

You don't love in your enemies what they are, but what you would have them become by your prayers.

My hounds are bred out of the Spartan kind; So flew'd, so sanded; their heads are hung with ears that sweep away the morning dew.
