There is nothing wrong with your marriage if you’re dealing with bills and kids and the broken garbage disposal and in-laws and work demands. That’s a normal marriage.

If we were all just alike, one of us wouldn’t be necessary.

Sometimes you’ve just gotta give yourself what you wish you were getting from someone else.

Awareness without action is worthless.

A year from now, you’re gonna weigh more or less than what you do right now.

Why would I want a place of my own? Then I would have to things worry about, like doing laundry and having food in the fridge.

The art of simplicity is a puzzle of complexity.

The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.
