Like a boxer in a title fight, you have to walk in that ring alone.

...I wondered why so much had been written about love's pain and so little about the glorious relief of being delivered from love's pain.

Irene Hunt

I can't remember a major league game where I could make eye contact with my dad. I kept wondering if he was going to yell at me for hanging a pitch or something.

David Cone

I have one brother, John, an airline pilot, who is seven years younger. He's adopted, though we're still blood related - he's my cousin. My parents couldn't have any more children after me, so when Dad's brother died, they adopted John, then just a baby.

Ovid

Community cannot long feed on itself, it can only flourish with the coming of others from beyond: their unknown and undiscovered sisters and brothers.

Howard Thurman

This life at best is but an inn, And we the passengers.

James Howell

How it is I know not; but there is no place like a bed for confidential disclosures between friends. Man and wife, they say, there open the very bottom of their souls to each other; and some old couples often lie and chat over old times till nearly morning. Thus, then, in our hearts honeymoon, lay I and Queequeg -- a cozy, loving pair.

Herman Melville

Hope is such a beautiful word, but it often seems very fragile. Life is still being needlessly hurt and destroyed.

Michael Jackson

Optimism is the opium of the people.

Milan Kundera

Few love to hear the sins they love to act.

William Shakespeare

No one can manipulate anyone else. In any relationship, both parties know what they're doing. even if one complains later on that they were used.

Paulo Coelho

You can talk to a fade but a hook won't listen.

Lee Trevino
