I've always like the time before dawn because there's no one around to remind me who I'm supposed to be, so it's easier to remember who I am.

Anyone can slay a dragon, he told me, but try waking up every morning and loving the world all over again. That's what takes a real hero.

I sometimes wake in the early morning & listen to the soft breathing of my children & I think to myself, this is one thing I will never regret & I carry that quiet with me all day long.

Time stands still best in moments that look suspiciously like ordinary life.

Most people don't know there are angels whose only job is to make sure you don't get too comfortable & fall asleep & miss your life.

I hope someday you see this is all life wants: for you to be your own kind of beautiful & not the kind that makes you forget who you are.

There are days I drop words of comfort on myself like falling leaves and remember that it is enough to be taken care of by myself.

There are lives I can imagine without children but none of them have the same laughter & noise.

If you hold on to the handle, it's easier to maintain the illusion of control. But it's more fun if you just let the wind carry you.

Everything changed the day she figured out there was exactly enough time for the important things in her life.

There is nothing more I ask of this life than this moment, exactly so. And suddenly forever seems like too short a time.

Hollywood shines by virtue of light within.

There is divinity in every soul.

Love has no thought of self! Love buys not with the ruthless usurer's gold The loathsome prostitution of a hand Without a heart! Love sacrifices all things To bless the thing it loves!

The Now, that indivisible point which studs the length of infinite line Whose ends are nowhere, is thine all , the puny all thou callest thine.

Bricks are crumbling in places, and the front door is so swollen you have to push hard to get in

I will always love gymnastics.

I tell my kids, 'I'm your father, not your friend - but I'm also the best friend you're ever going to have because no one is going to care for you the way I care about you.'

The one thing that might have stopped San Bernardino, that might have stopped 9/11 would have been stricter controls on those who came here.

There is only one romance the Soul's.
