I don't really talk to people.

I don’t need someone to complete me, I need someone to make things a little bit better every now and again.

Why do fools fall in love? I'll tell you why, because everybody else has simply got too much else to do.

I don't mean to hate people, I just get forced into it.

I know very well that I have no reason to feel aggrieved - I am fully aware of how lucky I am, but knowing it and still being down makes me hate myself all the more.

I refuse to believe that clubbing is how people are supposed to meet to establish relationships on a level for beyond what we consider to be a norm in modern society.

Anyone who tells you that it is better to have loved and lost that to never loved at all has never done both.

It is so much easier to grieve for the dead than to care for the living. At least in death we are all perfect.

I don't think I'd have any friends if I didn't obscure at least 99% of my thoughts.

Your passions don’t have to connect to one another and no one needs to sign off on them. Passion isn’t logical… it’s only the fuel which keeps our souls alive. Let it be that simple.

God gave us imaginations because that’s one of the ways we can visit the future! Thoughts are transport media!

Tell me not in mournful numbers Life is but an empty dream!

I am 73 years old. I've seen everything. I've met the kings, the queens, the presidents, I've been around the world. I have one thing that I would like to do: to try to reach peace.

To be getting an education means this: to be learning what is your own, and what is not your own.

Once I thought that Lake Forest was the most glamorous place in the world. Maybe it was.

I can do small things in a great way.

I will tell you what I can't abide - and I think the Internet has really created a space for it - women criticizing other women and mothers criticizing other mothers.

Reading is alive and well and will get more alive and more well. Reading on tablets (or whatever the next tech device will be) is the future - and the future is now.

Simplicity is the intention, purity in the affection; simplicity turns to God, purity unites with and enjoys him.
