“What it’s like to be a parent: It’s one of the hardest things you’ll ever do but in exchange it teaches you the meaning of unconditional love.”

People come, people go – they’ll drift in and out of your life, almost like characters in a favorite book.

Every great love starts with a great story.

So it’s not gonna be easy. It’s going to be really hard; we’re gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me – everyday.

You are the answer to every prayer I’ve offered. You are a song, a dream, a whisper, and I don’t know how I could have lived without you for as long as I have.

The scariest thing about distance is that you don’t know whether they’ll miss you or forget you.

I mean, if the relationship can’t survive the long term, why on earth would it be worth my time and energy for the short term?

You might not believe it but you make the world a better place when you smile.

Sometimes, finding the light means you must past through the deepest darkness.

Just when you think it can’t get any worse, it can. And just when you think it can’t get any better, it can.

I love you, not just for now, but for always, and I dream of the day that you’ll take me in your arms again.

Everything a baby does strikes a parent as the most magical thing he/she has ever seen.

When you finally close the book, the characters have told their story and you start up again with another book, complete with new characters and adventures. Then you find yourself focusing on the new ones, not the ones from the past.

If you like her, if she makes you happy, and if you feel like you know her – then don’t let her go

It’s the possibility that keeps me going, not the guarantee.

The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds. And that’s what you’ve given me. That’s what I’d hoped to give you forever

Thank you for coming into my life and giving me joy, thank you for loving me and receiving my love in return. Thank you for the memories I will cherish forever. But most of all, thank you for showing me that there will come a time when I can eventually let you go.

The more we try to live in the world of words, the more we feel isolated and alone, the more all the joy and liveliness of things is exchanged for mere certainty and security.

The United States and Russian security services regularly exchange information.

The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.

People have offered me opportunities in exchange for sleeping with them. But it’s not 1952 anymore.

The earth, in fair and grateful exchange, pays back to the moon an illumination similar to that which it receives from her throughout nearly all the darkest gloom of the night.

Conspirators in pajamas who exchange deep kisses for passwords.

As exchange-values, all commodities are merely definite quantities of congealed labour-time.

My solitude doesn’t depend on the presence or absence of people; on the contrary, I hate who steals my solitude without, in exchange, offering me true company.
