The meaning of our lives is revealed through experiences that at first seem at odds with each other--moments we wish would never end and moments we wish had never begun.

Story is the language of the heart.

The most dangerous man on earth is the man who has reckoned with his own death. All men die; few men ever really live.

They ignore what is deep and true to a man's heart, his real passions, and simply try to shape him up through various forms of pressure.

Aggression is part of the masculine design, we are hardwired for it.... Little girls do not invent games where large numbers of people die, where bloodshed is a prerequisite for having fun. Hockey, for example, was not a feminine creation. Nor was boxing. A boy wants to attack something - and so does a man, even if it's only a little white ball on a tee.

The true story of every person in this world is not the story you see, the external story. The true story of each person is the journey of his or her heart.

Most of what you encounter when you meet a man is a facade, an elaborate fig leaf, a brilliant disguise.
