Anyone can hide. Facing up to things, working through them, that's what makes you strong.

Don't think or judge, just listen.

There comes a time when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your own heart. So you'd better learn the sound of it. Otherwise you'll never understand what it's saying.

Your actions is like a raindrop; it falls into the pond making ripples and then its over.

It's a lot easier to be lost than found. It's the reason we're always searching and rarely discovered--so many locks not enough keys.

Looking at the pond, all I could think was that it is an incredivle thing, how a whole world can rise from what seems like nothing at all.

If you didn't love him, this never would have happened. But you did. And accepting that love and everything that followed it is part of letting it go.

Being brave and self-confident doesn't necessarily start inside...It starts with the rest of the world, and it leads back to you.

There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment.

Would I ever find the perfect note to fill the music sheet that I had?

A bred-in-the-bone Boston lady when asked why she never travelled said 'Why should I? I'm already there.'

We are in a war on terrorism. We need to conduct that war and take it to the terrorists, not here at home.

I make sure the foods I eat will benefit the appearance of my hair, skin and nails.

We are getting more and more imports from abroad.

Marriage is like a cage; one sees the birds outside desperate to get in, and those inside equally desperate to get out.

My love is my soul's imagination. How do I love you? Imagine.

Of course I'd sometimes have characters from downstate living upstate, but it took a while for me to start writing about where I grew up.

O faithless coward! O dishonest wretch! Wilt thou be made a man out of my vice?
