I have never known a cat that couldn't quiet me down just by walking slowly past my chair.

The gifts that one receives for giving are so immeasurable that it is almost an injustice to accept them.

Do not ask the definition of a friend. He/She is that one without whose company death and dying set in earlier and living is made more pleasurable.

Even when you feel you've reached the end or edge of life, hold on. Life itself will ultimately take care of you.

Be gentle with me, new love. Treat me tenderly. I need the gentle touch, the soft voice, the candlelight after nine. There's been so many who didn't understand so give me all the love I see in your timid eyes but give it gently Please.

People are not born bastards. They have to work at it.

If I could do it over, I'd do better.
