“When a woman who has much to say says nothing, her silence can be deafening.”

“If love was a choice, who would ever choose such exquisite pain?”

“Most people do not see the world as it is. They see it as they are”

“That roads are for journeys, ma'am, not destinations”

“Life is about the good and the bad. Good is easy. Bad is hard. Finding a way to make good from the bad is the secret. The few who discover the ability within themselves--nothing can stand in their way of happiness.”

“Words can never fully say what we want them to say, for they fumble, stammer, and break the best porcelain. The best one can hope for is to find along the way someone to share the path, content to walk in silence, for the heart communes best when it does not try to speak.”

“Remember me with smiles and laughter, for that is how I will remember you all. If you can only remember me with tears, then don't remember me at all.”
