“She can be strong and still need her hand held.”

Believe me when I say that I will find endless ways to make sure you know what a prize you are.

She doesn’t need to be alone to be lonely. She doesn’t need to speak to be heard.

Yes, she has more than a few regrets. And if you don’t, then you should probably live more.

There’s a big chasm between him telling you you’re a priority versus him treating you like a priority.

Do not mock a pain you have not endured.

You know what’s sexy? A real conversation.

She refused to let what hurts bruise her memories.

We were dirt poor but we had each other. We didn’t need much to have a lot.

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

Find someone who can hear you even when you’re silent.

Tears are quick to dry and certain pains never heal, sometimes what she says hides more than it reveals.

I miss hearing you smile over the phone.

I could sooner count the stars than list all the things I love about you.

She stopped pretending to herself that she was anything other than what she was: was more than enough.

Wait for the one who doesn’t stop pursuing you, even after he has you.

Because I will never let you fall asleep wondering if you’re enough.

This is not just a stock of affects or pleasure, but also the possibility of playing double or quits with the share you hold in the other’s heart.

Everybody knows there is no fineness or accuracy of suppression; if you hold down one thing, you hold down the adjoining.

Hold up a mirror and ask yourself what you are capable of doing, and what you really care about. Then take the initiative – don’t wait for someone else to ask you to act.

I am capable of holding the quote-unquote ‘title’ of leading man. Leading man just means people want to see you and assume that you can hold a film, carry a movie.

I want to be respected as a guy who knows what he’s talking about. And that, to me, holds more weight than anything else.

Hold everybody accountable? Ridiculous!

You can blame the other guy for saying it, or you can look at yourself and say, ‘I must have contributed to this.’

The questions are diamonds you hold in the light.
