“And I swear to you, she was so beautiful I had to keep reminding myself to blink.”

Not all wounds need healing, not all scars are ugly.

Just because she carries it well doesn’t mean it isn’t heavy.

It takes courage to feel, and she’s the bravest person I know.

Careful with this one. She had dethroned kings.

She has every reason to be bitter, and yet her heart beats to the tune of kindness, and her soul dances to the melody of love.

I’m sorry if someone made you feel as though you are difficult to love.

But doesn’t it hurt to feel so much and pretend not to?

Baby girl, don’t ever mistake what you are given for what you are worth.

In love as in life, nothing is really hidden, only ignored.

She’s not just another fish in the sea. She is the ocean.

There’s a message in the way he treats you. Just listen.

She was impossibly beautiful. If she didn’t exist, she’d have to be invented.

If he can’t hear you when you’re silent, he won’t hear you when you’re not.

What you see is what you get. She’s already magic; she doesn’t need tricks.

Your smile is like a salve for my soul.

It’s not that she’s afraid to fall in love, she’s just afraid to be the only one who falls.

If only he would look at me. Look at me the way I look at poetry.

A man may be hot but he’s not when he’s shot cause you can’t get a man with a gun.

I always assume I look better than I actually do. I’ll feel pretty good about myself when I leave the house, then I’ll see a picture and think, ‘Crap, I had no idea that’s what I was looking like.’

It is not the style of clothes one wears, neither the kind of automobile one drives, nor the amount of money one has in the bank, that counts. These mean nothing. It is simply service that measures success.

I think it’s tacky to have chains that go all the way down to your crotch.

When you run for president you have certain obligations. One of them would be to avoid even the appearance of conflicts of interest.

It’s nice to get off the couch, throw the clothes on, add a little make-up and go back to work, every once in a while.

Whitewashing the pump won’t make the water pure.
