Some situations are so hopeless when you look at them from the outside, you say, "Why are they still married?"

A relationship has to be cultivated. There have to be feelings of love for another first. But then you have to really like the person.

I'm not saying that people should not divorce, but at the rate at which it happens here is sick. The kids, they suffer. I don't care what anyone says.

Raising children is an enormously important part of life. I think one of the most important, or the most important, period.

Being in love, and I'm not an expert in this, I've lived it as much as anyone has, but I've not dissected it.

Just keep focusing on the work that you're doing. Focus on what's in front of you today. And don't read the papers, just go campaign. Just do your thing. Talk to people directly

Tallulah [Bankhead] never beat about the bush - she'd gossip about you in front of your back!

The solar system has no anxiety about its reputation.

Searching all directions with one's awareness, one finds no one dearer than oneself. In the same way, others are fiercely dear to themselves. So one should not hurt others if one loves oneself.

Peace, if possible, but justice at any rate.
