Intimacy is being seen and known as the person you truly are.

Men do not know what they do not know, and women should not tell them.

It is a wonderful, moving, heart-filling experience to sit with the man or woman you love and your beloved children and know that all are happy to be just where they are with each other and loving one another. This doesnt happen very often.

And sometimes we cling because the memory is so painful that we can't stop visiting it and hoping to make it come out differently. The risk of letting go is that we have to confront our own selves and our own possibilities.

You cannot fake effort; talent is great, but perseverance is necessary.

Some people are your family no matter when you find them, and some people are not, even if you are laid, still wet and crumpled, in their arms.

Bad people doing bad things is not interesting. What I find interesting is good people doing bad things.
