Sometimes we love with nothing more than hope. Sometimes we cry with everything except tears.

Some feelings sink so deep into the heart that only loneliness can help you find them again. Some truths are so painful that only shame can help you live with them. Some things are so sad that only your soul can do the crying for them.

Fate gives all of us three teachers, three friends, three enemies, and three great loves in our lives. But these twelve are always disguised, and we can never know which one is which until we’ve loved them, left them, or fought them.

Sometimes you break your heart in the right way, if you know what I mean.

I don't know what frightens me more, the power that crushes us, or our endless ability to endure it.

The best revenge, like the best sex, is performed slowly, and with the eyes open.

If fate doesn't make you laugh, you just don't get the joke.

Luck is what happens to you when fate gets tired of waiting.

You know the difference between news and gossip, don't you? News tells you what people did. Gossip tells you how much they enjoyed it.

Happiness is a myth. It was invented to make us buy new things.

Men reveal what they think when they look away, and what they feel when they hesitate. With women, it's the other way around.
