The love we were promised in fairy tales was never something for us to find. It has always been something for us to create.

Above all else, I would choose you. When there’s no more grand gestures, no more words to say, when everything around us begins to give way, when the sky grows dim and the colors fade, I will choose you.

Anytime I want to feel closer to the ocean, I just lay by your side and listen to the waves ebb and swell in every breath you give and take, and feel each one crash inside of me. I knew from the first time I saw you that whoever said empty shells carried the ocean’s songs had never met you before.

You are the fever that never broke, the name stuck in my throat. You are every letter of every word in every poem I ever wrote.

I thought about writing a poem explaining how when you are lost at sea, even if you are rescued and survive, you never really come back. Then I realized everyone that’s ever been in love would already understand.

When you doubt the brilliance of your shine, I will take you through my darkness. I will show you where you shine the brightest.

Treat everyone as if they were a guest in your own house, because in reality, they are a guest in your own world.

I am one of the people who love the why of things.

The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again.

Mediocrity knows nothing higher than itself; but talent instantly recognizes genius.

I think you’re running into a lot of trouble if your idea of foreplay is, ‘Brace yourself honey, here I come!’

You either get it or you don’t. Become one of those who get it.

I didn’t just come in on a load of turnips!

The only normal people are the ones you don’t know very well.

Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.

He who asks is a fool for five minutes, but he who does not ask remains a fool forever.

To do more for the world than the world does for you – that is success.

Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it.

Clouds float in the same pattern only once.

My attitude is never to be satisfied, never enough, never.

An intellectual is a person who has discovered something more interesting than sex.
