Life is a series of family photos in which you keep moving to the rear until finally you're a portrait in the background.

There is a language of love, which is to say, a truth that does not tell all and a lie that does not deceive.

I've learned never to be surprised if what must inevitably happen happens right now.

We never give up wanting things for ourselves, but there comes a day when what we want for ourselves is someone else's happiness.

Even at times when I don't care, I know exactly what I would care about if I did.

If God had intended me to make excuses for who I am, He would have given me better excuses.

We gain no easier advantage than by relentlessly pursuing our goal while others pursue an advantage.
