“I will never find the faces for all the goodbyes I’ve made.”

It is in love that we are made, in love we disappear.

Blessed is the covenant of love, the covenant of mercy, useless light behind the terror, deathless song in the house of night.

My reputation as a ladies’ man was a joke that caused me to laugh bitterly through the ten thousand nights I spent alone.

A heavy burden lifted from my soul, I heard that love was out of my control.

I’m just waiting for the miracle to come.

You go your way I’ll go your way too.

Dream after dream we all lie in each other’s arms.

To discover the truth in anything that is alien, first dispense with the indispensable in your own vision.

Games are nature’s most beautiful creation.

I told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you.

We are ugly but we have the music.

I’ve forgotten most of what I’ve read and, frankly, it never seemed very important to me or to the world.

The cutting of the gem has to be finished before you can see whether it shines.

Even damnation is poisoned with rainbows.

Here’s to the few who forgive what you do, and the fewer who don’t even care.

I don’t consider myself a pessimist. I think of a pessimist as someone who is waiting for it to rain. And I feel soaked to the skin.

Maybe the line between self respect and ego is called sanity.

I think you are who you are, and your kids will see who you are. So you’d better be a good person, because they are going to see it, and that’s going to shape them. They are going to become you.

If a man does not have the sauce, then he is lost. But the same man can be lost in the sauce.

Fear is where there is no love. Love is where there is no fear.

When you welcome your emotions as teachers, every emotion brings good news, even the ones that are painful.

I’ve always expressed myself best through writing. I’ve gotten out all of my deepest feelings that way for as long as I can remember.

You cannot experience yourself as what you are until you’ve encountered what you are not

What do you fear, most of all? The possibility that love may not be enough.
