I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.
The best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.
Love is a mutual self-giving which ends in self-recovery.
Speak low, if you speak love.
To love one that is great, is almost to be great one's self.

We are never so defenseless against suffering as when we love.
You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.
Love is an irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.
All I am, or can be, I owe to my angel mother.
Only one who loves can remember so well.
