The most beautiful moments always seemed to accelerate and slip beyond one's grasp just when you want to hold onto them for as long as possible.

You cannot hinder someone's free will, that's the first law of the Universe, no matter what the decision.

There are times when wisdom cannot be found in the chambers of parliament or the halls of academia but at the unpretentious setting of the kitchen table.

Tempted to type meaningless twaddle all the time on Twitter...with alliteration, no less!

It's the unknown that draws people.

So it's true, when all is said and done, grief is the price we pay for love.

Falling in love is very real, but I used to shake my head when people talked about soul mates, poor deluded individuals grasping at some supernatural ideal not intended for mortals but sounded pretty in a poetry book. Then, we met, and everything changed, the cynic has become the converted, the sceptic, an ardent zealot.
