I was born in a library, in the fiction stacks.

Love is the easiest thing there is. It's the layers of doubt, fear, and expectation that make it complicated.

Missing pieces do more than complete the puzzle, they fill in an empty space.

The music never leaves. Once you have it, you can't lose it.

The biggest mistake any of us can make is thinking that love is a feeling, an emotion. It's not that at all. It's an action.

Sometimes waiting is the hardest thing of all.

I am honored to have had two Hallmark Hall of Fame Productions made from my novels - Silver Bells and Follow the Stars Home.

You fall in love with the girl next door but married her sister.

Judgment is easy: it is black and white, as brutal as a gavel strike.

A good sailor knows everything is always changing.

Some feelings are stronger than fear: love, longing, desire.

Intense feelings of any kind keep people with you. Some you may want, others you won't. To forget people, and you never really forget, feel indifference.

Eyes closed on an open soul...the world starts from within its core towards its final frontier: the end surface.

Baby, sometimes what I’m thinking doesn’t translate into words. You’re going to have to badger them out of me until I get better at this, okay?

Some people believe in imaginary friends. I believe in imaginary numbers.

I think it is absolutely crazy in this day and age that I have to go through a trial and error method to see if my child is allergic to an antibiotic or peanuts. I should just know.

If history could teach us anything, it would be that private property is inextricably linked with civilization.

I never learned hate at home, or shame. I had to go to school for that.

Where pride begins, love ceases.

Neither prosperity nor empire nor heaven can be worth winning at the price of a virulent temper, bloody hands, an anguished spirit, and a vain hatred of the rest of the world.

You know, for a long time I have been of the opinion that artists don't necessarily know what they're doing. You don't necessarily know what kind of universal concept you're tapping into.
