Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional.

Know who you are, and be it. Know what you want, and go out and get it!

Don't bite off more than you can chew because nobody looks attractive spitting it back out.

The moment you stop trying to become a better person, is the moment you start to become worse than what you already are.

The only thing standing between you and your dreams is ... reluctance.

Nothing is as it seems, but something is everything it is made out to be.

I strive for perfection - I settle for satisfaction

Believe in the wonderment of life, the magic of love, and the reality of death.

A sin is nothing more than regret. Not for doing it once, but doing it again when you know you’re going to regret it.

This isn't your world. It's your parents. Your world is still out there, waiting to be discovered. Always remember that.

Love should feel like a hand sewn quilt made by grandma, wrapping you up on a cold winter morning.

During our first date, I wanted to hold your hand so badI almost cut mine offand threw it at youto see if you would catch it

I found I could only glance at him for tiny moments and then I had to look away. He was perfect enough to hurt my feelings for a long time, and I wanted to let him.

... there are spines to which the immobility of worship is not a strain.

Man's greatest drive is not love or hate but to change another person's writing.

I work for two years on a book and it comes out and two days later I've got my first e-mail: When is the next one coming out?

God is nearer to me than I am to myself; He is just as near to wood and stone, but they do not know it.

I could just have chips and salsa for dinner every day.

Modern education is like being taken to the world's greatest restaurant & being forced to eat the menu.

It's starting to feel good, although I don't like feeling too good - that's not where my comedy comes from.
