I know what I don't want. I don't want to live through somebody else. To do what others expect me to do, be what they think I should be. I have to make my own choices, my own decisions. I have to control my own life, at least as much as any of us can

Maybe that's what is means to be human . . . forever questioning our certainties.

Sometimes reality is better than dreams

Saying that you love is easy, but living up to those simple words is the most difficult thing you'll ever do.

Love without trust. The difference between holding a hand and chaining a soul

without understanding and respect, even love could turn into a trap all too easily

I had to learn to value myself before I could expect to be valued by others
