You never question the truth of something until you have to explain it to a skeptic.

I heard once that real love doesn't ask what is in it for me; it just gives unconditionally. It just tries to take the weight out of somebody else's pack, lessen his load, and if it gets reciprocated, that's great, but that isn't what you did it for.

I'm the kind of person who wants to present my most honest, authentic self to the world, so I hide backstage and rehearse honest and authentic lines until the curtain opens.

I often learn more about myself from listening to the life story of a friend than I do reflecting on my own story.

I need for there to be something bigger than me. I need someone to put awe inside me; I need to come second to someone who has everything figured out.

There are two types of men in this world--one is looking for a woman to make his life complete and the other is looking for a woman to join his complete life.

I think that every living person, every person who is awake to the functioning principles within his reality has a moment where he stops blaming the problems in the world on group thinking, on humanity and authority, and starts to face himself. I hate this more than anything. This is the hardest principle within christian spirituality for me to deal with. The problem is not out there, the problem is the needy beast of a thing living in my chest.
