Yes, there is a Nirvanah; it is leading your sheep to a green pasture, and in putting your child to sleep, and in writing the last line of your poem

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.

One day you will ask me which is more important? My life or yours? I will say mine and you will walk away not knowing that you are my life.

How beautiful to find a heart that loves you, without asking you for anything, but to be okay.

And God said, Love your enemy, & I obeyed Him & loved myself.

If indeed you must be candid, be candid beautifully.

Between what is said and not meant, and what is meant and not said, most of love is lost.

Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.

And ever has it been known that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

Keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.

It's as though you had lost an arm or leg but still instinctively reach out to feel your missing limb or try to walk again, placing your entire weight on something that no longer is there.

Lying is a thriving vocation.

The only really Christian art is that which, like St. Francis, does not fear being wedded to poverty. This rises far above art-as-ornament.

And that's not something I'm willing to support, it's not something I'm willing to build and it's not something I'm willing to live under.

The big belly can accommodate all kinds of things. The benevolence is never let a dust behind.

I love good food and I love to eat in nice restaurants. I love Japanese food. I love Gordon Ramsay in London; he is pretty amazing.

It is when fortune is the most propitious that she is least to be trusted.

A half-hour before bedtime, I remind myself that I now deserve to prepare myself for a good night's sleep. You can't focus on your work if you're sleep-deprived even if you have a fascinating job.

The bigger you get, the more pressure you have to deal with.

I don't believe that art makes people violent in any way. I don't. But I do believe art can show people how to be violent and that's much more dangerous in a way.
