You love the word love but you don’t really love and you don’t want to love because love, which is really sacrifice, would prevent you from doing what you want to do.

Truth and integrity must be so rare these days that it confuses people when they hear it.

There is the purity of love, harmonious in every way, but not meant for a lifetime, and then there is the steady love of commitment - no less real but completely different. She had both.

Darling, if I take your breath away, I will give you mine.

We love because we can lose. If there was no threat of separation, no death to shake us to our core, we probably wouldn't love much at all.

Connecting with someone is not necessarily a bond with a significant other, or even a friend, but can be the indefinable - perhaps the rarest and most precious thing in life to find at all.

Even "meant to be" takes work.

I'd rather be befriended as an aimless lost soul than be befriended for adornment, gain or goal.

Am I a friend or a prospect? Imagine how much kinder life would be if people put as much effort into befriending others instead of trying to sell them something.

Where are the memories that held us together? Where are the dreams that were yet to come? I'm afraid to be happy. I shouldn't be happy. If I'm happy without you does that mean I've told you goodbye?

One of the disadvantages to having a choice is the inevitability to hang oneself on freedoms rope.

Sticks and stones can break your bones, but names can kill you.

Life is about refinement, not perfection. And you still have refining to do.

I enjoy looking at words on paper and visualizing how to make them come to life. As a director, the creative process is really amazing.

The best gift anyone can give to a friend is to pray for him.

Then, fare thee well, deceitful Maid!

I like spending time at home. In Paris, people drop by and have a bite to eat, or they drop by and watch Friends on TV. I take my dog to the office there, and I walk to work sometimes.

Don't fight forces, use them.

Communication is merely an exchange of information, but connection is an exchange of our humanity.

A land may be said to be discovered the first time a European, presumably an Englishman, sets foot on it.

It looks to me like the candidates are trying to relieve the farmer of his vote, instead of his debts.
