I love to shop after a bad relationship. I don’t know. I buy a new outfit and it makes me feel better. It just does. Sometimes I see a really great outfit, I’ll break up with someone on purpose.

He loved me. He loved me, but he doesn’t love me anymore, and it’s not the end of the world.

To love and win is the best thing. To love and lose is the next best.

For a long time, the fact that I was divorced was the most important thing about me. And now it’s not. Now the most important thing about me is that I’m old.

Healing yourself is connected with healing others.

I mean, if the relationship can’t survive the long term, why on earth would it be worth my time and energy for the short term?

The moving finger writes, and having written moves on. Nor all thy piety nor all thy wit, can cancel half a line of it.

It’s much more interesting to try and understand what binds two people together. Why we stay with each other is much more of a mystery than why we don’t.

Everyone’s allowed to be in love with the wrong person at some point. In fact, it’s a mistake not to be.

When things break, it’s not the actual breaking that prevents them from getting back together again. it’s because a little piece gets lost — the two remaining ends couldn’t fit together even if they wanted to. The whole shape has changed.

You may have a fresh start any moment you choose, for this thing that we call ‘failure’ is not the falling down, but the staying down.

I’ve always believed that if you don’t stay moving, they will throw dirt on you.

It’s no good pretending that any relationship has a future if your record collections disagree violently or if your favorite films wouldn’t even speak to each other if they met at a party.

Those who do not know how to weep with their whole heart do not know how to laugh either.

Hearts live by being wounded.

Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

I think a spiritual journey is not so much a journey of discovery. It’s a journey of recovery. It’s a journey of uncovering your own inner nature. It’s already there.

Bad days call for foods that are bad for your butt.

What’s broken is broken — and I’d rather remember it as it was than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.

Being divorced is like being hit by a Mack truck. If you live through it, you start looking very carefully to the right and to the left.

Don’t dwell on what went wrong. Instead, focus on what to do next. Spend your energies on moving forward toward finding the answer.

Some of us think that holding on makes us strong, but sometimes it’s letting go.

Recovery is something that you have to work on every single day and it’s something that it doesn’t get a day off.

One makes mistakes; that is life. But it is never a mistake to have loved.

I tell you the past is a bucket of ashes, so live not in your yesterdays, no just for tomorrow, but in the here and now. Keep moving and forget the post mortems; and remember, no one can get the jump on the future.

Don’t allow someone not worth it to have the power to occupy your thoughts. If they don’t find you worth the effort or the time, why should you waste yours?

Maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates and guys are just people to have fun with.

What we wait around a lifetime for with one person, we can find in a moment with someone else.

Only time can heal his heart, just as only time can heal his broken arms and legs.

Bad things do happen; how I respond to them defines my character and the quality of my life. I can choose to sit in perpetual sadness, immobilized by the gravity of my loss, or I can choose to rise from the pain and treasure the most precious gift I have – life itself.

The dreams break into a million tiny pieces. The dream dies. Which leaves you with a choice: you can settle for reality, or you can go off, like a fool, and dream another dream.

When stepped on the worm curls up. That is a clever thing to do. Thus it reduces its chances of being stepped on again. In the language of morality humility.

Do I think it's OK to fight authority as long as you're only talking about the high school teacher? No.

A life of reaction is a life of slavery, intellectually and spiritually. One must fight for a life of action, not reaction.

Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time; what we really want is for things to remain the same but get better.

In my mind, I never doubted whether I was going to achieve what I wanted to do. I just had to decide what it is I wanted to do.

The first lesson is that you can't lose a war if you have command of the air, and you can't win a war if you haven't.

Also, if I did join another show, I'd end up burning my bridges to the show I love most.

With time, many of the facts I learned were forgotten but I never lost the excitement of discovery.

I never wanted to be part of any scene, I never wanted to be a part of anything, I wanted to do my own thing. Those are the lessons I learned from punk rock.

I don't think I can do this - painting under observation. It's the worst thing there is, worse than being in the hospital.

I never ever slept again after my first pregnancy.

I get to wake up every day and create music. And even when it's a tough moment as far as career ups and downs, it's always something you're passionate about, and it's a beautiful way to spend your life.

I like that there's no love as fierce as the love you feel for your family; that there's no one you feel more protective of than the very same people who can drive you crazy.

Yet none of these things gave him confidence. All they gave him was egotism which is less the conviction of ones worth than the desire for that conviction.

We believe PR should be practiced to serve the public interest, to develop mutual understanding between organizations and their publics.

Undeserved praise causes more pangs of conscience later than undeserved blame, but probably only for this reason, that our power of judgment are more completely exposed by being over praised than by being unjustly underestimated.

I never have to this day, because my money is the money I earn.

It is not cowardly, quite the contrary, to seek to meet the adversary and know his intentions. However, it is cowardly, shameful and treasonable to lay down arms.
