We will all wake up semi-angels, If we wake at all.

Strangers are just friends waiting to happen

Cats have it all - admiration, an endless sleep, and company only when they want it.

We come into the world alone. We go away the same. We're meant to spend the interlude between in closeness or so we tell ourselves. But it's a long way from the morning to the evening.

Even when you feel you've reached the end or edge of life, hold on. Life itself will ultimately take care of you.

It's nice sometimes to open up the heart a little and let some hurt come in. It proves you're still alive.

Extending your hand is extending yourself.

The gifts that one receives for giving are so immeasurable that it is almost an injustice to accept them.

I cannot speculate on what our cluttered mind will save- sleepy Sundays, or a nosebleed after love. I know only the dying heart needs the nourishment of memory to live beyond too many winters.

Do not ask the definition of a friend. He/She is that one without whose company death and dying set in earlier and living is made more pleasurable.

If you love somebody, tell them.

Experience does for the soul what education does for the mind.

Life is fountain of joy; but where the rabble also gather to drink, all wells are poisoned.

I don't like jeans with holes in 'em. I like 'em faded.

An emotion is suggested and demolished in one glance by certain words.

When I was young, I didn't like to read. I would have much rather been outside doing something than been inside reading about it.

You know, I'm from the South, and I wasn't interested in perpetuating a stereotypical southern character.
