I can't help thinking that there are only one or two ways of being brought into this world, but there are so many fucked-up ways of leaving it.
We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone.
We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims.
There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart's desire. The other is to gain it.
Every day brings a chance to live free of regret and with as much joy, fun, and laughter as you can stand.
The historian looks backward. In the end he also believes backward.

I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.
Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before.
Don't be too timid and squeamish about your actions. All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better.
Im not in this world to live up to your expectations and youre not in this world to live up to mine.

Its not the men in your life that matters, its the life in your men.
You can give in to the failure messages and be a bitter deadbeat of excuses. Or you can choose to be happy and positive and excited about life.
To be interested in the changing seasons is . . . a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring.
I think the highest and lowest points are the important ones. Anything else is just...in between.
Life swings like a pendulum backward and forward between pain and boredom.
