“Most people have a harder time letting themselves love than finding someone to love them.”

“To love someone is nothing, to be loved by someone is something, but to be loved by the one you love is everything”

“We learn to make a shell for ourselves when we are young and then spend the rest of our lives hoping for someone to reach inside and touch us. Just touch us—anything more than that would be too much for us to bear.”

“The only important statistic is the final score.”

“Most people create a destiny of minutiae, of the mundane. They create their own limitations. When the moment comes for them to stretch and leap, they find themselves boxed in, locked down by their own fears.”

“Your kids require you most of all to love them for who they are, not to spend your whole time trying to correct them.”

“It's easy to fall in love. The hard part is finding someone to catch you.”
