Some people love so hard that they can’t control those emotions when they’re at their deepest point.

I’ve done a lot of things I’m not proud of, such as getting my girlfriend pregnant when I was 23 and the way I handled that.

Everyone got kind of crazy with me mentioning I was in love with a woman.

Men who think that a woman’s past love affairs lessen her love for them are usually stupid and weak.

Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.

I used to take my short stories to girls‘ homes and read them to them. Can you imagine the reaction reading a short story to a girl instead of pawing her?

What is virtue but the Trade Unionism of the married?

Ultimately, who you choose to be in a relationship with and what you do in your bedroom is your business.

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.

I love those who yearn for the impossible.

I am deeply grateful to the citizens of Sarajevo and the Sarajevo Canton assembly for bestowing upon me this incredible honor of citizenship. I am so proud to now be a part of such an extraordinary part of the world and fellow citizen to the people I deeply love and admire.

I put out one album one week, and I’m already worried about the next one. I feel a lot of emotion throughout the course of a day. But not to the point where you need to be worried about me.

Sitting on a bedroom floor crying is something that makes you feel really alone. If someone’s singing about that feeling, you feel bonded to that person. That’s the only way I can find an explanation for why 55,000 people would want to come see me sing.

The only way to get love is to be lovable. It’s very irritating if you have a lot of money. You’d like to think you could write a check: ‚I’ll buy a million dollars‘ worth of love.‘ But it doesn’t work that way. The more you give love away, the more you get.

I was 14, and I fell in love with Pink Floyd.

When you lose a person you love so much, surviving the loss is difficult.

The reason why men do not obey us, is because they see the mud at the bottom of our eye.

For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

Within one’s own family, money is not the measure of things, unless the person is an absolute Scrooge. Only the most extreme kind of monster would put a price on everything.

I should like to lie at your feet and die in your arms.

A lot of times, people make other people responsible for their joy: ‚You’re not making me happy, you’re not doing this, you’re not doing that.‘

If you hear Anarchy in the UK today your hair stands on end. It gives you the shivers.

If you are not too long, I will wait here for you all my life.

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

The weather and my mood have little connection. I have my foggy and my fine days within me; my prosperity or misfortune has little to do with the matter.

Some are reputed sick and some are not. It often happens that the sicker man is the nurse to the sounder.

We all have two lives: an inner life and an outer life. Your inner life is your soul life, which includes your mind, will and emotions. Your outer life is your physical life. And while God cares about every detail of your life, He is more concerned with your inner life than your outer life.

Women love us for our defects. If we have enough of them, they will forgive us everything, even our gigantic intellects.

For how many things, which for our own sake we should never do, do we perform for the sake of our friends.

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.

That is what fame is, isn’t it? To get the world to fall in love with you.

If you want to become fully mature in the Lord, you must learn to love truth. Otherwise, you will always leave open a door of deception for the enemy to take what is meant to be yours.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don’t, they never were.

Life becomes harder for us when we live for others, but it also becomes richer and happier.

I thank God I’m myself and for the life I’m given to live and for friends and lovers and beloveds, and I thank God for knowing that all those people have already paid for me.

He has achieved success who has worked well, laughed often, and loved much.

My experiences in life are getting bigger and better. The more stuff I do, the more stuff I talk about – having kids, traveling, going through relationship problems, dealing with things in my own family. All that stuff builds character.

Only two things are necessary to keep one’s wife happy. One is to let her think she is having her own way, and the other is to let her have it.

No, I’m not anguished and tormented.

I think women love very hard. We love men. We just love with everything we have. And sometimes, I don’t know that that love is met with the type of dignity that we wish it would be met with.

In all our contacts it is probably the sense of being really needed and wanted which gives us the greatest satisfaction and creates the most lasting bond.

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

Why is propaganda so much more successful when it stirs up hatred than when it tries to stir up friendly feeling?

My mother taught children to love to dance.

You can’t trust very many people.

A friend will tell you she saw your old boyfriend – and he’s a priest.

If you love something – and there are things that I love – you do want more and more and more of it, but that’s not the way to produce good work.

God wants to help us… He loves us… we are His children. But He will not force His help on us at any time. He sees us when we struggle and fight and complain our way through things. And I believe it breaks His heart, when all we have to do is ask Him for help.

I really didn’t consider myself happy or unhappy.

‚The Story of Us‘ is about running into someone I had been in a relationship with at an awards show, and we were seated a few seats away from each other. I just wanted to say to him, ‚Is this killing you? Because it’s killing me.‘ But I didn’t. Because I couldn’t. Because we both had these silent shields up.

Bitterness is like cancer. It eats upon the host. But anger is like fire. It burns it all clean.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.

There was one incident at a movie theater where my girl got mad at these guys who were talking behind us. I never looked back there, but she was like, ‚Will you all just shut up!‘ And I just got up and moved three rows in front. She was like, ‚What are you doing?!‘ I was like, ‚You better get up here! I don’t play the fighting games.‘

It’s impossible to live a life totally free of feelings. God created all of us to be emotional creatures, and feelings are a big part of our lives.

Knavery and flattery are blood relations.

The good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.

We’re all going to die, all of us; what a circus! That alone should make us love each other, but it doesn’t. We are terrorized and flattened by trivialities. We are eaten up by nothing.

I’m the most recognized and loved man that ever lived cuz there weren’t no satellites when Jesus and Moses were around, so people far away in the villages didn’t know about them.

The distinction between children and adults, while probably useful for some purposes, is at bottom a specious one, I feel. There are only individual egos, crazy for love.

There is always something ridiculous about the emotions of people whom one has ceased to love.

Be of love a little more careful than of anything.
