I wanted love to conquer all. But love can't conquer anything.

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.

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.

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’s as simple as that. Simple and complicated, as most true things are.

I am jealous of anyone who can make other people care so much.

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

The light died in the low clouds. Falling snow drank in the dusk. Shrouded in silence, the branches wrapped me in their peace. When the boundaries were erased, once again the wonder: that *I* exist.

[I]mpermanence [is] the very thing that makes [life] vibrant, wonderful, and alive.

Quit worrying about your health. It will go away.

It's sad, the lottery. Good projects get funded by it, but there's an air of desperation about it.

I photograph from the heart. I adore little babies and I think that shows. My images are really very positive, very simple, and from the heart. Babies speak a universal language.

I think perhaps education doesn’t do us much good unless it is mixed with sweat.

Flowers produce an effect on me which can only be produced in an equal degree by music.

Most Glorious and eternal Majesty, Thou art righteous and holy in all thou dost to the sons of men, though thou hast suffered men to condemn Thy servant, Thy servant will not condemn Thee.

I heard the news today, oh boy.

The only thing I can't control is the spin in the press. And so if I know I can't control that, I have to let it go.
