children betrayed their parents by becoming their own people

Just because love don't look the way you think it should, don't mean you don't have it.

Children betrayed their parents by becoming their own people.

To my mother, I was everything. To my father, nothing at all. To my grandmother, I was a daily reminder of loves long lost.

Love makes us such fools.

She laughed for her wasted, difficult life that never had to be wasted or difficult in the first place.

The days she was finally brought out of the house would later be remembered as a day when shadows seemed blacker, as if something more lingered in those darkened spaces.

She didn't see it because when it came to love, she saw what she wanted to see.

She is the glorious reincarnation of every woman ever loved.

The whole world had given up on love anyway and clung instead to its malformed cousins: lust, narcissism, self-interest.

Because I'm your mother, that's why.

This witch had been crafted from the darkness between the stars.

There is only one true thing: instantly paint what you see. When you've got it, you've got it. When you haven't, you begin again. All the rest is humbug.

God requires you individually to come up to the point, to make an entire surrender. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

Lightning and thunder need time, the light of the stars needs time, deeds need time, even after they are done, to be seen and heard.

But I want you around even when I don't need you. —Jeremy Richards

I think people in Hollywood are afraid of sentiment because they think audiences will reject it.

When I talk to young people who want to go to Broadway or whatever, I say, "The highs are very high and the lows are very low and then there is a lot in between."

Many of us have been running all our lives. Practice stopping.

I don't really say too much to my parents. If they ask me to do something I just do it and get it out of the way.

The best thing about writing programs is that it rationalized the apprenticeship of a writer.
