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

Be real and be unashamed, even of your faults. I do truly know what my husband is made of and vice versa.

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

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.

Great sex is not a pleasant soak in the tub, with the scented candle burning. Great sex is more like a bomb exploding inside your right mind.

The past is a candle at great distance: too close to let you quit, too far to comfort you.

Be real and unashamed. Even of your faults.
