People are not always very tolerant of the tears which they themselves have provoked.

The creation of the world did not occur at the beginning of time, it occurs every day.

It is not because other people are dead that our affection for them grows faint, it is because we ourselves are dying.

Let us leave pretty women to men with no imagination.

Every woman feels that the greater her power over a man, the more impossible it is to leave him except by sudden flight: a fugitive precisely because a queen.

But I consoled myself with the reflexion that in spite of everything she was for me the real point of intersection between reality and dream.

So difficult is it for us to know, with the dead as with the living, whether a thing would cause them joy or sorrow!

She was capable of causing me pain, but no longer any joy. Pain alone kept my wearisome attachment alive.

As with the future, it is not all at once but grain by grain that one savours the past.

I could no longer desire physically without feeling a need for her, without suffering from her absence.

I must choose to cease from suffering or to cease from loving.

We have to show these men and women freedom by enslaving them, and show them courage by frightening them.

Leaders step up, even when they feel like hiding. And they do so because they care.

I still get the jitters every time I start a new job! I love it - makes you feel alive.

Creative collaboration is awesome.

And yet, unless my senses deceive me, the old centuries had, and have, powers of their own which mere 'modernity' cannot kill.

But in the end, I suppose, we only have one life to lead, and the roads not taken would always outnumber and outshine the roads we end up taking, day by day, without plan.

I think we should take a break, fill our little tummies and drink up.

I wish I was more stupid because I'm either completely ecstatic and joyous and absolutely high as a kite or I'm a bit morbid. There's never anything in between.

Be encouraged. Stay on your hustle. You can't fail until u quit.

Anyone who resists the notion of women preachers is functioning as a tool of the devil.
