The sad thing is, I was discovering that you almost have to make a joke of being good to strangers. Up and down the country, these people doing their good deeds were doubtless being seen as slightly eccentric, when in reality and in an ideal world they should be deemed the most normal people of all.

I will say yes to every favor, request, suggestion and invitation. I will swear to say yes where once I would say no.

I was saying yes because when you're in love, the world is full of possibilities, and when you're in love, you want to take every single one of them.

The closed mind is a disease. You need to have an open mind; otherwise life will just pass you by.

But the happiest people are the ones who understand that good things occur when one allows them to.
