You can hate a person with your whole body, but love is a stubborn thing, it clings on in your heart.

...When I look back on my life's greatest traumas...I see that each one has something in common. No matter how life-shattering they felt at the time, there was an end to them.

When you're right there in the crisi, you'll do anything to make yourself feel better, distract yourself from the misery, deny reality, not matter how stupid.

If you're happy inside you don't have to convince everyone else.

But at least if you hint and are rejected, the rejection is blurable rather than blistering. Whereas if you ask outright and are refused, the humiliation is as stark as a streaker on a football.

There's a time in your life when you have to stop looking back and start looking forward because otherwise you're going to walk down the road one day and bump into a lamppost. But it's not easy.

We cannot despair of humanity, since we ourselves are human beings.

What makes us different? We're the creature that can decide not to do something that we are capable of doing.

I'm not a journalist any more. I don't have to stick a microphone up somebody's nostril and I don't have a camera lens behind my shoulder, I think people talk to me in a much franker way.

From the first moment I handled my lens with a tender ardour.

I am hoping for better times. That's how you know us hapless gardeners - by our dirty fingernails and our absurd, unquenchable optimism about next year.

Bound in primal longings, we pine to be understood by ourselves.

General Motors could buy Delaware if DuPont were willing to sell it.

No other youth group like the Scouts has trained so many future leaders while at the same time being a nature organization with its outdoor focus.

I have no fear in moving up (in weight) and fighting.

It's okay to feel weak sometimes. It's okay to be afraid. The important thing is that we face our fears. That's...that's what makes us strong.
