Tears are okay [Morrie Schwartz]

when he smiles it's as if you'd just told him the first joke on earth.

But common sense has no place in first love and never has.

So many times I feel I'm using the same words over and over, like a woman wearing the same dress every day. So boring!

All I was afraid of is saying good-bye.

Much of what we called "depression" was really dissatisfaction, a result of setting a bar impossibly high or expecting treasures we weren't willing to work for.

Because one thing God gave us- and I'm afraid it's at times a little too much- is freewill. Freedom to choose. I believe he gave us everything needed to build a beautiful world, if we choose wisely.
