The big, burly oaf offended my girl, so without hesitation I rushed to her defense. I did, however, make a few stops along the way, and by the time I got home and back, the...

I hid my wound under my clothes. Nobody could see it, including myself, and I completely forgot about it. Then I met someone who, filled with love, held me tight in that point. The pain...

I can’t be lazy, in light of the fact that my guardians were definitely not. Not that I never forget what they taught me, however, I know who they were. They didn’t try to live...

I sympathize with a mother who has three mouths to feed—especially if two of those mouths are on her face. With a woman like that I’d listen twice as hard for doublespeak. I’m pretty accustomed...

You should be flattered that I think you look like Miley Cyrus.”

Time, energy and money. These should never be compromised.

I had a dream about you. Due to the underwater nature of our relationship, I kept referring to you as Mrs. Fishface. You probably thought I was being racist, because you were in fact a...

Unfortunately we do treat others as we treat ourselves. We should try being genuinely kind to ourselves first and the rest will come naturally, like an 18-kt. Golden Rule.” ― Erica Goros, The Daisy Chain

There is one tree in Gainesville I call “Grandfather” because it looks like a giant Bonsai tree. Well, that and I actually thought it was my mother’s father for the longest time.

A father and son walked into a bar, and the bartender didn’t serve either because the one didn’t look old enough. And he was right. Who becomes a dad in middle school?

I won’t have my son doing drugs to get awoman that he shall never have.

When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are.

Losing your mind is preferable to losing your woman, because if you lose your woman you will also lose your mind, and then you’re left with nothing.

Yeah, it didn’t work like that because lies cannot protect

I am three forks away from eating all your food with two homeless guys. It’s too bad I only have a suitcase full of spoons and a bucket of soy sauce.

The size of your sighs tell how deeply you’re in love. How I feel is very much like a stressed and distressed midget trying to breathe.

We affect one another quite enough merely by existing. Whenever the stars cross, or is it comets? fragments pass briefly from one orbit to another. On rare occasions there is total collision, but most often...

Marriage is like a series of opposing reflections, inverse images getting ever smaller like nesting dolls, each one of your trying to squeeze yourself smaller to fit inside the hopes of the other, until one...

Many aspects of our screen-bound lives are bad for our social skills simply because we get accustomed to controlling the information that comes in, managing our relationships electronically, deleting stuff that doesn’t interest us. We...

My dear lady, you have no idea just how scandalous I can be. ~Peter Viktor von Strassenberg, 1905

She had reason to doubt him; he was real good at planning but real bad at doing.

The self is constituted within a variety of arenas and in relation to multiple traditions. Self-hood, on this understanding, is both provisional and open-ended, and critically depends on the configuration of relationships between one’s own...

This is what happened in love. One of you cried a lot and then both of you grew sarcastic.

You’re only responsible for being honest, not for someone else’s reaction to your honesty.

If I could have all of those things, I wouldn’t mind if I touched her or not.

You Can’t Lose Something You Never Had

What I’m trying to say is that it will be okay between you and Nate. Because you both want that. Because you both want that more than anything. It sounds simple, but I’m learning that...

Because nothing between human beings is uncomplicated and there’s no way to speak of human beings without simplifying and misrepresenting them.

Husbands are chiefly good as lovers when they are betraying their wives.

Different plants thrive together in a well nurtured garden. Just as they thrive, they pass on a message to mankind – God created us all to thrive with one another and planted love in our...

But more importantly, know I love you more than I can say with simple words. Poets have attempted for centuries to find the perfect combination, and I don’t imagine I shall have more luck than...

We all have a book in us. The first step is recognising this. Writing it is a whole new journey.

A woman may be beautiful but have poor character. A man may be a business genius, making money left and right, but lack common courtesy, sensitivity, and compassion.

Pretend to be poor in reality and you’ll notice a decrease in your friends list and request.

Want” is a deliberate choice. Wanting is not based in fear or ego (which are one in the same, I believe). Want comes from recognition of someone else’s goodness and loving them for it. Being...

There’s always something in it for the person who is allowing to be taken advantage of. – Psychotherapist David in Type 1 Sociopath

Bazılarımız sadece başlangıçlardan hoşlanır. Hayatlarına giren herkesi de bir şekilde gönderirler o başlangıçtan sonra. Ya da kendileri çıkarlar. Bitirmenin o aziz gözyaşları sana göre değildi hiçbir zaman. Bazen sormak isterdim hayatına giren herkese, birinin hayatındaki...

For what it’s worth, I think perfect love stories have perfect disasters hidden somewhere. If a genuine relationship comes out of two people screwing before they saw the potential of the ‘relationship’? Its perfect, beautiful,...

A true champion of love and sport wears it proudly in all aspects of life.

Everyone is moving at the same speed toward the future. But your children are moving at that same speed with their eyes closed. So you’re the ones who’ve got to steer.

When you are feeling sad and lonely because you are single, remember that there are a lot of people stuck in bad relationships who wish they could be in your shoes.

On day one of the drive, I saw my first dome sky. The world was so flat that I could see the level horizon all around me and the sky looked like a dome. Skies...

To some women, a job plays the role of a man. To most women, a man plays the role of a job.

A humanitarian seldom makes a good lover. For a lover’s world revolves around their lover, while a humanitarian’s world revolves around the world.

Generally, a woman would rather be married to any man that she doesn’t hate, than remain unmarried to a man that she loves.

To be human is to be broken and broken is its own kind of beautiful.

I’m not saying that I think one man is better than the other. I’m not saying that either is kinder or wiser or more ambitious, more thoughtful, confident, or able. But the fact is that...

She cries,I laugh,She becomes numb,I become filled with joy,She slowly crumbles,I feel on top of the world,Yet somehow in the end,Out of the ashes,She rose like a Phoenix,As if nothing had ever touched her
