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

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.

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

This morning I woke with my ear pressed between shoulder blades. Every inhale, every drum, every pump, thump of your heartbeat said one thing – home, home, home.

They ask me how I love you and I say in pages, in novels, in volumes. I love you like my favorite story, the one that I wake up to every day and watch unfold. And I don’t know how it ends, but I know your name is already written in the chapters of my life that I have yet to live.

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.’

Enjoy what other people do and learn from them.

Life is trying things to see if they work.

All this is only for the mice and myself to admire!

It is a fabulous country, the only fabulous country; it is the only place where miracles not only happen, but they happen all of the time.

It was enough to make a body ashamed of the human race.

I want to be a hero, a small and good kind of hero, even though I know heroes have very short lives.

Trying to define yourself is like trying to bite your own teeth.

Honesty is a very expensive gift, Don’t expect it from cheap people.

Foolproof systems don’t take into account the ingenuity of fools.

What a piece of work is man! how noble in reason! how infinite in faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how like an angel! In apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals!

We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.

A hunch is creativity trying to tell you something.

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

I mean, I’m very, very competitive.
