“Perhaps when we find ourselves wanting everything, it is because we are dangerously close to wanting nothing.”

How we need another soul to cling to, another body to keep us warm. To rest and trust; to give your soul in confidence: I need this, I need someone to pour myself into.

I felt wise and cynical as all hell.

I am myself. That is not enough.

Before I give my body, I must give my thoughts, my mind, my dreams.

I want to be important. By being different. And these girls are all the same.

Let me live, love and say it well in good sentences.

Love is a shadow. How you lie and cry after it

Please, I want so badly for the good things to happen.

Opinions are like orgasms, mine matters most and I really don’t care if you have one.

I want so obviously, so desperately to be loved, and to be capable of love.

If you expect nothing from somebody you are never disappointed.

I felt overstuffed and dull and disappointed, the way I always do the day after Christmas.

The abstract kills, the concrete saves.

I find myself absolutely fulfilled when I have written a poem.

I want so obviously, so desperately to be loved, and to be capable of love.

If you expect nothing from somebody you are never disappointed.

The more humble, needy, and subdued you are before Allah, the closer you will be to Him.

The more open with ourselves we are, the closer we are to others.

Stay close to anything that makes you glad you are alive.

Each strikeout brings me closer to my next homerun.

For them to see you shine, you must stay far away, for you are just like the sun, when you are too close, you light makes them blind. And when you are too far, they seek you. So let them seek you.

You shouldn’t get too close to the truth, because then maybe you stop being funny.

Maybe you’re the reason why all doors are closed, so you can open one that leads you to the perfect road.

A young nurse is standing close behind me wondering whether she is being drawn by my power or her charity.
