Everyone has been in love, at some point or another.

Your feelings so are important to write down, to capture, and to remember because today you’re heartbroken, but tomorrow you’ll be in love again.

To be wronged is nothing unless you continue to remember it.

Without forgiveness, there’s no future.

No one gossips about other people’s secret virtues.

The more extensive a man’s knowledge of what has been done, the greater will be his power of knowing what to do.

Intense love does not measure, it just gives.

Loving someone liberates the lover as well as the beloved. And that kind of love comes with age.

Nothing is as obnoxious as other people’s luck.

The answer to all writing, to any career for that matter, is love.

Don’t compare yourself with other people; compare yourself with who you were yesterday.

Let go of yesterday.

Don’t ever criticize yourself. Don’t go around all day long thinking, ‚I’m unattractive, I’m slow, I’m not as smart as my brother.‘ God wasn’t having a bad day when he made you… If you don’t love yourself in the right way, you can’t love your neighbour. You can’t be as good as you are supposed to be.

Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

To love someone means to see him as God intended him.

He that overvalues himself will undervalue others, and he that undervalues others will oppress them.

Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth.

A man must now swallow more belief than he can digest.

I was not a good student. I did not spend much time at college; I was too busy enjoying myself.

Life’s too short to hang out with people who aren’t resourceful.

Is solace anywhere more comforting than that in the arms of a sister.

I am not happy, and the quest for happiness as a principal objective is not part of my world. Of course, ever since I can remember, I have done what I felt like doing.

To an ordinary human being, love means nothing if it does not mean loving some people more than others.

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.

You have to just make the choices you make in life. I made the choices I made because I believed they were right for me.

I carry a small sheet of paper in my wallet that has written on it the names of people whose opinions of me matter. To be on that list, you have to love me for my strengths and struggles.

Love and desire are the spirit’s wings to great deeds.

There’s not some idea I’m going to create a work that’s going to change everybody’s consciousness.

Through my research, I found that vulnerability is the glue that holds relationships together. It’s the magic sauce.

I believe that one key to success is to accept truth, no matter how it’s spoken.

Friendship is the marriage of the soul, and this marriage is liable to divorce.

We’re all insecure, aren’t we? I’m not walking around like I’m macho man or anything.

What a wee little part of a person’s life are his acts and his words! His real life is led in his head, and is known to none but himself.

In my house I’m the boss, my wife is just the decision maker.

Kisses are a better fate than wisdom.

Sometimes you must suffer through something to defeat your fear of it.

It was weird to be married; you kind of lose your identity. You’re suddenly somebody’s wife. And you’re like, ‚Oh, I’m half of a couple now. I’ve lost me.‘

For a young person, it is almost a sin, or at least a danger, to be too preoccupied with himself; but for the ageing person, it is a duty and a necessity to devote serious attention to himself.

When I look at acting careers that I really admire, I see that it’s been a precise decision-making process for these people. They make decisions based on what they love, and they do only the things that they are passionate about. They play only characters that they can’t stop thinking about.

The roots of the problems we face in the world, in our national life, and in our family and personal lives are spiritual.

A woman will doubt everything you say except it be compliments to herself.

What keeps me motivated is love and passion.

Only the really plain people know about love – the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they soon exhaust their talents.

Love is an emotion that is based on an opinion of women that is impossible for those who have had any experience with them.

My family has never been there for me. They expect things because we’re blood.

Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.

How we experience memory sometimes, it’s not linear. We’re not telling the stories to ourselves. We know the story; we’re just seeing it in flashes overlaid.

The statesman’s duty is to bridge the gap between his nation’s experience and his vision.

I’ve just tried to grow up in the most natural and gradual process that I possibly can and make choices I feel are right for me and my fans.

The face of a lover is an unknown, precisely because it is invested with so much of oneself. It is a mystery, containing, like all mysteries, the possibility of torment.

I’m not in this world to live up to your expectations and you’re not in this world to live up to mine.

I met my husband before I became a star, and he doesn’t care about any of it.

I don’t know how to live good. I only know how to suffer.

Love can do much, but duty more.

To understand the heart and mind of a person, look not at what he has already achieved, but at what he aspires to.

We do not yet possess ourselves, and we know at the same time that we are much more.

Here’s what I’ve learned about deal-breakers. If you have enough natural chemistry with someone, you overlook every single thing that you said would break the deal.

Key is never be afraid of being yourself. Never!

A belief is purely an individual matter, and you cannot and must not organize it. If you do, it becomes dead, crystallized; it becomes a creed, a sect, a religion, to be imposed on others.

Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it… that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear.

Libraries raised me.
