We just want to walk. Our legs need to move to keep our minds from collapsing.

Making love without noise is like playing a muted piano-fine for practice, but you cheat yourself out of hearing the glorious results.

For whatever reason, we like to focus on the 2 percent that's different, and most of the conflict in the world comes from that.

I immediately suspected there was much more to it than was being said.
