Leo Tolstoy

Happiness is an allegory, unhappiness a story.

My principal sin is doubt. I doubt everything, and am in doubt most of the time.

I simply want to live; to cause no evil to anyone but myself.

Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it.

We walked to meet each other up at the time of our love and then we have been irresistibly drifting in different directions, and there’s no altering that.

All the variety, all the charm, all the beauty of life is made up of light and shadow.

I have had young fascinations but never love.

Without a doubt, my richest relationships are my long-term friendships with musical partners, because we make music together. That’s what we love to do with our lives.

The only other person who has a clue about what this is, the good, the bad, is your partner.

A lot of people believe what other people say.

I don’t know where to find a good guy. I just think that they’re around and I think you have to be good and at some point you’ll attract that. I really believe that. First, people should stop looking. The looking thing does not work. Just let love find you.

You know, it’s possible for two humans to be in a relationship without there needing to be some public reason for that relationship.

If I’m not interested in a woman, I’m straight-forward. Right after sex, I usually say, ‘I can’t do this anymore. Thanks for coming over!’

She was always a little crazy, which is why I understand her so well.

It’s fun to have a partner who understands your life and lets you be you.

Nothing is so necessary for a young man as the company of intelligent women.

Breaking up is a natural evolution when you try to figure out what you want in life. If you’re with an individual who isn’t moving in the same direction and at the same rate that you are, it ain’t going to work.

What truly made me fall in love with Barack Obama was his character.

You can repeat the mistakes of your parents’ marriage or you can go out of your way not to repeat them.

It’s hard for a man to live with a successful woman – they seem to resent you so much. Very few men are generous enough to accept success in their women.

I was lucky I always got along with girls. It was never like a big deal. I had a lot of girls that I was friends with that I wasn’t sexual with. I think having two older sisters made me comfortable like that. I just like people, so I can just go up and say whatever.
