But we can't impose our own goals, wishes, or help on anyone. We can only teach, support, and love. We give them more opportunities, more choices. Then we love them regardless of the choices they make, hoping that they will learn to make better ones in the future.

Witch Baby wanted to ask Ping how to find her Jah-Love angel. She knew Raphael was not him, even though Raphael had the right eyes and smile and name. She knew how he looked--the angel in her dream--but she didn't know how to find him. Should she roller-skate through the streets in the evenings when the streetlights flicker on? Should she stow away to Jamaica on a cruise ship and search for him in the rain forests and along the beaches? Would he come to her? Was he waiting, dreaming of her in the same way she waited and dreamed?

Arabic Proverb

Love had he found in huts where poor men lie; His daily teachers had been woods and rills, The silence that is in the starry sky, The sleep that is among the lonely hills.

William Wordsworth

I'm not a big sports fan, but I love it when they slam dunk. That's sexy.

Emma Bunton

John Osborne

I would like to mention that I have flown the 262 first in May '43. At this time, the aircraft was completely secret. I first knew of the existence of this aircraft only early in '42 - even in my position. This aircraft didn't have any priority in design or production.

Adolf Galland

His forward voice now is to speak well of his friend. His backward voice is to utter foul speeches and to detract.

William Shakespeare

Moonlight is sculpture.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

If you haven't seen your wife smile at a traffic cop, you haven't seen her smile her prettiest.

Kin Hubbard

I do support a constitutional amendment on marriage between a man and a woman, but I would not be going into the states to overturn their state law.

Michele Bachmann

I am a great lover of art, in many forms: paintings, objets, textiles. I don't have the talent for painting, but I have a very good sense of colour, a love of visual beauty.
