When we recognise the virtues, the talent, the beauty of Mother Earth, something is born in us, some kind of connection, love is born.

Beauty without expression is boring.

I love being a dad. I just love it.

The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.

Imagination disposes of everything; it creates beauty, justice, and happiness, which are everything in this world.

You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth.

I think I have had so much blessing – I’ve had my brother, who was brilliant – I think my family came closest to making a genius when they made my brother – Bailey was just all of that. He loved me.

The earth laughs in flowers.

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

We cannot fashion our children after our desires, we must have them and love them as God has given them to us.

There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.

You can’t blame gravity for falling in love.

What do I care about the purring of one who cannot love, like the cat?

No woman ever hates a man for being in love with her, but many a woman hate a man for being a friend to her.

I know that a large part of my fan base is gay. They’ve shown me love from the start. I mean in this industry, everyone from my glam people to my dancers are gay. You can’t be homophobic in this line of work – I’m a pop star!

My husband has quite simply been my strength and stay all these years, and I owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim.

You don’t choose your family. They are God’s gift to you, as you are to them.

The world is round so that friendship may encircle it.

The world is mud-luscious and puddle-wonderful.

When marrying, ask yourself this question: Do you believe that you will be able to converse well with this person into your old age? Everything else in marriage is transitory.

You can stroke people with words.

Those whom the gods love grow young.

I consider myself to have one of the greatest voices in the industry.

There’s a deceptive sin that can keep us from walking in love: pride. It’s deceptive because when you have pride, you’re usually too proud to admit it. I know this because I used to have teachings on pride and they didn’t sell well.

We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.

The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone.

Where there’s marriage without love, there will be love without marriage.

Mother Earth is very talented. She has produced Buddhas, bodhisattvas, great beings.

Love and doubt have never been on speaking terms.

All I can do is try to create my own brand and have people appreciate me for that.

I just got to feel that whoever I marry has some real regard for me.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries or the way she combs her hair.

Machines are worshipped because they are beautiful and valued because they confer power; they are hated because they are hideous and loathed because they impose slavery.

Why love if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore; only the life I have lived. The pain now is part of the happiness then.

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

Men are more easily governed through their vices than through their virtues.

Life began with waking up and loving my mother’s face.

Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own.

If you have the opportunity to play this game of life you need to appreciate every moment. A lot of people don’t appreciate the moment until it’s passed.

In order to speak about all and to all, one has to speak of what all know and of the reality common to us all. The sea, rains, necessity, desire, the struggle against death… these are things that unite us all.

I’ve been careful in love. I’ve been careless in love. And I’ve had adventures I wouldn’t trade for anything.

For me, one of the toughest things about Valentine’s Day is that it gets geared up as the day to profess your love. See, T-E-S-T – that’s a bad word that doesn’t go with L-O-V-E.

People like to hear the word ‚love.‘

Any artist, the work you do, if it’s a painting or if it’s a performance, you hope it translates to a common denominator with the people that they see something in their own life in there. Or they see something in somebody else’s life. That’s what’s fun about sharing art.

A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge.

Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world anymore. There is always something to make you wonder in the shape of a tree, the trembling of a leaf.

You can be rich in spirit, kindness, love and all those things that you can’t put a dollar sign on.

Chemistry can be a good and bad thing. Chemistry is good when you make love with it. Chemistry is bad when you make crack with it.

Basically, when you get to my age, you’ll really measure your success in life by how many of the people you want to have love you actually do love you.

Beauty is everywhere a welcome guest.

What, sir, would the people of the earth be without woman? They would be scarce, sir, almighty scarce.

To abandon oneself to principles is really to die – and to die for an impossible love which is the contrary of love.

If you’re performing music that is not who you are or where you’re at, it is painful. It’s painful for the performer and for the audience.

My mother was a full-time mother. She didn’t have much of her own career, her own life, her own experiences… everything was for her children. I will never be as good a mother as she was. She was just grace incarnate. She was the most generous, loving – she’s better than me.

The thing that we are trying to do at facebook, is just help people connect and communicate more efficiently.

I do not have much patience with a thing of beauty that must be explained to be understood. If it does need additional interpretation by someone other than the creator, then I question whether it has fulfilled its purpose.
