A good man is as strong as the right woman needs him to be.

Civilization, after all, is defined by what we forbid, more than what we permit.

For this is what we do. Put one foot forward and then the other. Lift our eyes to the snarl and smile of the world once more. Think. Act. Feel. Add our little consequence to the tides of good and evil that flood and drain the world. Drag our shadowed crosses into the hope of another night. Push our brave hearts into the promise of a new day. With love; the passionate search for truth other than our own. With longing; the pure, ineffable yearning to be saved. For so long as fate keeps waiting, we live on.

The more you try to be like someone else, the more you find yourself standing in the way.

Friendship is also a kind of medicine, and the markets for it, too, are sometimes black.

Love is a one-way street. Love, like respect isn't something you get; it's something you give

Fanatics have the look of people who do not masturbate but who think about it almost all time.
