Hate is not a feeling toward another, but a feeling of defeat by another.

I can’t function around a man if I know his ability to give pleasure.

It's never too late to reach for happiness and no matter what life has done to you, it's never too late to find it.

You lose anyone, there’s no replacing them. What you need to get is that’s precious, you get to keep that, you don’t want to replace it. That doesn’t mean you can’t find something else just as good.

We're all lost. The best chance we got is to wander this life with the people who matter.

That’s the beauty of books. We get to take what we want out of them and it can be different for everyone.

I prefer your smiles and laughter, wife, but there are far worse things than your tears wetting my skin.
