“Being loved is overrated I want to be understood.”

My sky is too blue for me to be scared of people painting it a little grey.

God hasn’t made anything yet you couldn’t conquer.

Laugh often, the universe always falls in love with a little bit of madness.

I stopped going through a lot of doors after I remembered how miserable I was last time coming out of it.

I think I’m just one question away from telling a stranger how heavy the weight I’ve been carrying.

Love is knowing that she is delicate and not breaking her still.

You’d be a fool to think that you leaving me in darkness meant I’d stay there forever.

Only humans have the tendency to break something and be disgusted by the pieces.

At the end we all settle for peace.

It’s okay, not many have the courage to love you.

Every storm started with just a little drizzling.

People who feel like sunshine have walked more in the rain than basked in the sun.

I will always be a fire, with or without somebody igniting me.

The best thing about being a writer is you get to write your endings.

Tell how you feel, that’s how it sets you free.

My dear, Don’t be scared of love because what broke you back then wasn’t love at all.

There’s the artist’s intimacy and truthfulness to himself, but an equal intimacy to the Other [the one drawn].

Really true intimacy is rare and it depends on other things besides sex.

Communication leads to community, that is, to understanding, intimacy and mutual valuing.

I don’t think that sex necessarily produces intimacy.

Intimacy requires courage because risk is inescapable.

Intimacy requires courage because risk is inescapable. We cannot know at the outset how the relationship will affect us. Like a chemical mixture, if one of us is changed, both of us will be. Will we grow in self-actualization, or will it destroy us?

Intimacy is the capacity to be rather weird with someone – and finding that that’s ok with them.

Sex and intimacy are not the same: You can have sex all your life and never be intimate with a person. There has to be empathy in the relationship. You have to enjoy seeing through their eyes. When you’re with them, you’re there and not thinking about what you’re gonna do tomorrow.
