“There is another side to the Pisces nature and that is the brutal honesty that can catch others off guard.”

“The nature of love is that it catches you off-guard, subjects you to rules you have never faced, some of them contradictory.”

“It is not easy to convey a sense of wonder, let alone resurrection wonder, to another. It’s the very nature of wonder to catch us off guard, to circumvent expectations and assumptions. Wonder can’t be packaged, and it can’t be worked up. It requires some sense of being there and some sense of engagement.”

“The man who is brutally honest enjoys the brutality as much as the honesty. Possibly more.”

“Life can catch you off guard. It smacks you in the face when you least expect it. There is nothing that you can do but accept what has been given to you and work with what you have.”

“Honesty is the most beautiful gift a person can give to another at the beginning of a friendship.”
