I can see that the sadness has returned. And it's not a beautiful sadness- beautiful sadness is a myth. Sadness turns our features to clay, not porcelain.

If I'm not telling you something, it's for a reason. Just because you trust me, it doesn't mean I have to automatically trust you. Trust doesn't work like that.

It would be too easy to say that I feel invisible. Instead, I feel painfully visible, and entirely ignored.

Falling in love with someone doesn’t mean you know any better how they feel. It only means you know how you feel.

I am a drifter, and as lonely as that can be, it is also remarkably freeing. I will never define myself in terms of anyone else.

It's one thing to fall in love. It's another to feel someone else fall in love with you, and to feel a responsibility toward that love.

When you live as I do, you cannot indulge in jealousy. If you do, it will rip you apart.

It was so much easier when I didn't want anything. Not getting what you want can make you cruel.

Positive spirit, positive strength.

I'd just as soon stay home and raise babies.

It is only in sorrow bad weather masters us; in joy we face the storm and defy it.

Kids always act up the most before they go to sleep.

I'm going to stop punishing my children by saying, “Never mind! I'll do it myself.

If there was a better way to go then it would find me I can't help it, the road just rolls out behind me Be kind to me, or treat me mean I'll make the most of it, I'm an extraordinary machine

Be a blessing to someone else.

I'm not sticking up for white kids - I'm going to have a barrage of hate mail - but it's true. If you're poor, you're really poor.

There are a lot of ways to become a failure, but never taking a chance is the most successful. As long as you derive inner help and comfort from anything, keep it.

You can't say enough about fishing. Though the sport of kings, it's just what the deadbeat ordered.
