Faith is belief in what you cannot see or prove or touch. Faith is walking face-first and full-speed into the dark.

Desperate love is always the toughest way to do it.

Someday you're gonna look back on this moment of your life as such a sweet time of grieving. You'll see that you were in mourning and your heart was broken, but your life was changing.

The thing that I do try to convey is, don't do what I did - but ask what I asked.

I am alone, I am all alone, I am completely alone. Grasping this reality, I let go of my bag, drop to my knees and press my forehead against the floor. There, I offer up to the universe a fervent prayer of thanks. First in English. Then in Italian. And then - just to get the point across - in Sanskrit.

So now I have started living my own life. Imperfect and clumsy as it may look, it is resembling me now, thoroughly.

I think that if you can roast a chicken, you can get whatever you want out of a woman.
