She woke up every morning with the option of being anyone she wished. How beautiful it was that she always chose herself.

But I do know there are not enough syllables to spell out how much I love you. I love you I love you I love you I love you I love you I love… You are my every moment, my every hour, my every day, my every season, and I know this isn’t poetry and it’s certainly not a haiku, it’s just all the things I needed to say to you.

The universe, at any given point, in any given time, is expanding indefinitely in all directions. So trust me when I say, ‘you are the center of mine.’

To me, you’ll always be the rising suns, the sinking moons, and all the stars that come between the sound of rain and river stones, the warmth of my sheets, the ache in my bones.

Come to me, wild and untamed. Bring the oceans on your lips, the mountains on your spine; I want to explore all the places you have ever called home. Let me pluck each petal from the gardens you’ve grown, overcrowded seedlings pushing up through your bones. Come to me dipped in the stars, come to me wearing all your scars. I want to show you just how beautiful you are.

I know the sun rises in the eat and sets in the west, that I am ten fingers and ten toes and ten thousand reasons short of explaining what it is I can’t explain to you. And I know that I will always love you in certainties.

That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.

The universe, at any given point, in any given time, is expanding indefinitely in all directions. So trust me when I say, ‘you are the center of mine.’

The philosophy of life indicates that our principal business on this planet is the gaining of experience.

Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all other countries because you were born in it.

Not only can you not plan the impact you’re going to have, you often won’t recognize it when you’re having it.

Life is a marathon, it’s not a sprint.

Life is managed; it is not cured.

The South has a future which it can shape for itself, and avoid the mistakes which the more populous parts of the country have made.

Youth should not be slandered. Boy nature and girl nature are less repressed and therefore more wholesome today than before. If they at times seem unimpressed by their elders, it is probably because we make a matter of authority what should be a matter of conference. These young people are new people sent to this scene by Destiny to take our places. They come with new visions to fulfill, new powers to exploit.

If we don’t change, we don’t grow. If we don’t grow, we aren’t really living.

Silence is so accurate.

You never miss what you’ve never had. I never had any other life. I didn’t know any other life.

My definition of a free society is a society where it is safe to be unpopular.

All this talk about equality. The only thing people really have in common is that they are all going to die.

Life is not a success-only journey. You are going to get beat up along the way. And you’ve got to have the strength of character to get up and get back in the game.
