I believe when it comes to love, there’s something intangible about who we are attracted to, and I don’t think I have a pattern.

Children begin by loving their parents; after a time they judge them; rarely, if ever, do they forgive them.

Jesus never mistreated anyone just because they mistreated Him. He confronted them in a spirit of gentleness and then continued to love them.

Waking up every day and loving someone who may or may not love us back, whose safety we can’t ensure, who may stay in our lives or may leave without a moment’s notice, who may be loyal to the day they die or betray us tomorrow – that’s vulnerability.

I never had a mother. I suppose a mother is one to whom you hurry when you are troubled.

Fear is exciting for me.

I’m the type person, my safe place to be emotional is the booth.

I like persons better than principles, and I like persons with no principles better than anything else in the world.

I’ve seen my friends take someone back after they’ve cheated because they fit perfectly.

Marriage is the most natural state of man, and… the state in which you will find solid happiness.

It is not enough to say we must not wage war. It is necessary to love peace and sacrifice for it.

There’s a part of you – the born-again part, your spirit – that’s dead to sin. That’s why it bothers you now when you sin. The ‚wilderness‘ part of you – your soul – is your unrenewed mind, out-of-control emotions, and stubborn will.

Don’t ever call a guy first. The thing they want the most is whatever they can’t have. It sounds really juvenile, but it works.

It could be if I fight in front of one person or one million people. It’s still the same emotions.

No matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it.

There is, hidden or flaunted, a sword between the sexes till an entire marriage reconciles them.

Boys do cry, but I don’t think I shed a tear for a good chunk of my teenage years.

Friendships, in general, are suddenly contracted; and therefore it is no wonder they are easily dissolved.

Love has reasons which reason cannot understand.

When you fish for love, bait with your heart, not your brain.

I let the dog out, or I let him in, and we talk some. I let him know I like him, and he lets me know he likes me.

Love is too young to know what conscience is.

The best book, like the best speech, will do it all – make us laugh, think, cry and cheer – preferably in that order.

People are underestimating the force of angry kids.

I think, a lot of times when you meet someone, you feel like you need to appear like you’re not interested in them so that they’ll be more interested in you. But what happens when you start showing him that you actually like him? What’s he gonna do then? Play the tape forward; how do you keep a guy like that? I don’t want to sign up for that.

Love and doubt have never been on speaking terms.

Where grief is fresh, any attempt to divert it only irritates.

To be intimate with a married man, when my own father cheated on my mother, is not something I could forgive. I could not look at myself in the morning if I did that. I wouldn’t be attracted to a man who would cheat on his wife.

Seeing Pax get extra-nervous about which shirt he is going to wear when he meets Aung San Suu Kyi, I get very moved. He rightfully doesn’t get nervous going to a movie premiere; he gets nervous going to meet her.

I guess I have always been deeply terrified to really be someone’s wife since I know from life one cannot love another, ever, really.

In the course of a marriage, one accommodates the other.

I hate violence, yes I do. It’s kind of a dilemma, huh?.

You know, we love stories and we love narrative; we love to get lost in an author’s world.

I like to write about love and love lost because I feel like there are so many different subcategories of emotions that you can possibly delve into.

If I’m not in love, if I’m not with a long-term companion, I cannot be happy.

We were never intimate mother and children while she was our mother – but… when she became our child, the affection came.

My husband is everything to me and without him it’s just not the same.

Dividers seek to make themselves look or feel better by making others feel worse. They damage relationships, fracture teams and organizations, and create havoc in people’s lives.

Men and women do think differently, and frankly, we don’t understand each other. Not at all! But that’s what makes relationships so amazing.

The average Hollywood film star’s ambition is to be admired by an American, courted by an Italian, married to an Englishman and have a French boyfriend.

I’ve… been accused of being involved with every man I’m ever seen with or worked with. Maybe I have, maybe I ain’t. I never tell if I have.

If Christ has died for me, ungodly as I am, without strength as I am, then I cannot live in sin any longer, but must arouse myself to love and serve Him who has redeemed me.

She said the object and color in the materials around us actually have a physical effect on us, on how we feel.

Brad was a huge surprise to me. I think we were both the last two people who were looking for a relationship. I certainly wasn’t. I was quite content to be a single mom with Mad.

Dear friends, we may well sing to our Beloved when it is near the time of our departure. It draws near, and as it approaches, we must not dread it, but rather thank God for it.

Woman begins by resisting a man’s advances and ends by blocking his retreat.

A remark generally hurts in proportion to its truth.

I love those who yearn for the impossible.

When I think of the love I feel for each member of our family, I sense, to a slight degree, the love that our Heavenly Father bears for His children.

Not necessity, not desire – no, the love of power is the demon of men. Let them have everything – health, food, a place to live, entertainment – they are and remain unhappy and low-spirited: for the demon waits and waits and will be satisfied.

Many people when they fall in love look for a little haven of refuge from the world, where they can be sure of being admired when they are not admirable, and praised when they are not praiseworthy.

All of our reasoning ends in surrender to feeling.

Any man who doesn’t love his mama can’t be no friend of mine.

Girls we love for what they are; young men for what they promise to be.

I love the ending of a movie where two people end up together. Preferably if there’s rain and an airport or running or a confession of love.

To truly laugh, you must be able to take your pain, and play with it!

WWE is a space where I thrived, and I loved, and I still do. I love connecting with an audience; that is the greatest thing about going back to WWE.

It is plain indeed that in spite of later estrangement Hobbits are relatives of ours: far nearer to us than Elves, or even than Dwarves. Of old they spoke the languages of Men, after their own fashion, and liked and disliked much the same things as Men did. But what exactly our relationship is can no longer be discovered.

Dreams are the guiding words of the soul. Why should I henceforth not love my dreams and not make their riddling images into objects of my daily consideration?

One of the most beautiful qualities of true friendship is to understand and to be understood.

Jealousy is just love and hate at the same time.
