“She’s like a stiff drink I can’t get enough of, the first real obsession I can’t help but love.”

Don’t give him another thought, baby girl. He wanted a cup of tea; you’re a shot of whiskey.

She was strong enough to be gentle all the time.

Perfection is just a lie, failure’s not forever, rejection is but a sign, darling you are a treasure.

It is not a coincidence that the strongest people tend to have the most scars.

She had eyes that held you better than arms ever could.

But she’s not like the others; that’s where you made your first mistake.

Sometimes, all it takes to connect with someone is a little bit of the same hurt.

All I want is to bring you the love and the joy that matches all the pain you have ever felt.

Don’t judge her if she’s lived under circumstances you have not.

Darling, you have lived far too much life to be caring what others think of you.

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.

Well, as he brews, so shall he drink.

I never drink… wine.

If you’re gonna drive me crazy baby, drive me to drink.

Suddenly we had become these people who didn’t drink anything but kale, who ended many of our conversations with tears, and for whom no future was guaranteed. It was kind of funny.

I eat healthy and stay active and drink plenty of water.

I can remember a reporter asking me for a quote, and I didn’t know what a quote was. I thought it was some kind of soft drink.

No matter how much strong black coffee we drink, almost any after- dinner speech will counteract it.

A river of images and thoughts and feelings, dirtied and polluted so that no one could drink from it without gagging.
