But hurting ourselves to inflict pain on others is just another cry to be loved.

In college, I had a course in Latin, and one day the word "divorce" came up. I always figured it came from some root that meant "divide." In truth, it comes from "divertere," which means "to divert." I believe that. All divorce does is divert you, taking you away from everything you thought you knew and everything you thought you wanted and steering you into all kinds of other stuff, like discussions about your mother's girdle and whether she should marry someone else.

I often find that I rock back and forth with a beat in my head constantly. If i stop rocking, it usually means I've hit a snag in my writing.

People are only mean when they are threatened.

Life is a series of pulls back and forth. You want to do one thing, but you are bound to do something else.

When someone is in your heart, they're never truly gone. They can come back to you, even at unlikely times.

When you come to the end, that's where God begins.
