I’m drawn to bad romances.

Kindness in words creates confidence. Kindness in thinking creates profoundness. Kindness in giving creates love.

Ultimately, who you choose to be in a relationship with and what you do in your bedroom is your business.

If proud Americans can be who they are and boldly stand at the altar with who they love then surely, surely we can give everyone in this country a fair chance at that great American Dream.

The way to know life is to love many things.

Truth is so obscure in these times, and falsehood so established, that, unless we love the truth, we cannot know it.

Knavery and flattery are blood relations.

I thank God I’m myself and for the life I’m given to live and for friends and lovers and beloveds, and I thank God for knowing that all those people have already paid for me.

No one would choose a friendless existence on condition of having all the other things in the world.

A man’s growth is seen in the successive choirs of his friends.

In memory everything seems to happen to music.

Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.

Every single one of us has a few months here or there that feel like dark months.

An onion can make people cry but there’s never been a vegetable that can make people laugh.

I didn’t mean to hit the umpire with the dirt, but I did mean to hit that bastard in the stands.

Morning without you is a dwindled dawn.

I’m so nervous. I’ve always been nervous, ever since I was a kid.

He who is cruel to animals becomes hard also in his dealings with men. We can judge the heart of a man by his treatment of animals.

Intense love does not measure, it just gives.

‚Love Story‘ is actually about a guy that I almost dated. But when I introduced him to my family and my friends, they all said they didn’t like him. All of them!

It’s so much easier to like people, and to let people in, to trust them until they prove that you should do otherwise. The alternative is being an iceberg.

If one by one we counted people out For the least sin, it wouldn’t take us long To get so we had no one left to live with. For to be social is to be forgiving.

There’s nothing hippie about my picture of Christ. The Gospels paint a picture of a very demanding, sometimes divisive love, but love it is.

To be clear: we have fights and problems like any other couple.

I fall in love every day. Not with people but with situations.

I know I’m talented, but I wasn’t put here to sing. I was put here to be a wife and a mom and look after my family. I love what I do, but it’s not where it begins and ends.

Love has features which pierce all hearts, he wears a bandage which conceals the faults of those beloved. He has wings, he comes quickly and flies away the same.

Heavenly Father loves every one of His children. After all, He is their Father.

For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

There is a ‚sanctity‘ involved with bringing a child into this world: it is better than bombing one out of it.

I will never be happy without having someone. Going to sleep alone kills me.

Life cannot subsist in society but by reciprocal concessions.

I was gutted to leave my boyfriend at home when I started my tour, but taking my pillow was like taking a little bit of him with me.

As I get older, I tend to put more into family than I used to.

Ever since I dated a woman, I know what it is to grab a curve on a woman’s body. Skinny’s not fine when the lights are low.

God is more interested in your future and your relationships than you are.

It no longer bothers me that I may be constantly searching for father figures; by this time, I have found several and dearly enjoyed knowing them all.

Mothers are fonder than fathers of their children because they are more certain they are their own.

You can write a song about being in love with someone, but you don’t have to be in love with anyone.

A quarrel is quickly settled when deserted by one party; there is no battle unless there be two.

I make a lot of expressions constantly. I’m animated.

The word ‚happy‘ would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness.

Of the love or hatred God has for the English, I know nothing, but I do know that they will all be thrown out of France, except those who die there.

There are more love songs than anything else. If songs could make you do something we’d all love one another.

I can’t relate to lazy people. We don’t speak the same language. I don’t understand you. I don’t want to understand you.

Only the really plain people know about love – the very fascinating ones try so hard to create an impression that they soon exhaust their talents.

I should like to know what is the proper function of women, if it is not to make reasons for husbands to stay at home, and still stronger reasons for bachelors to go out.

My husband has quite simply been my strength and stay all these years, and I owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim.

Love can do much, but duty more.

Kisses are a better fate than wisdom.

If someone has a really great boyfriend or career, I think, it’s cool that happens.

If someone thinks that love and peace is a cliche that must have been left behind in the Sixties, that’s his problem. Love and peace are eternal.

The chain of wedlock is so heavy that it takes two to carry it – and sometimes three.

If you like a person you say ‚let’s go into business together.‘ Man is a social animal after all, but such partnerships are fraught with danger.

I like America, just as everybody else does. I love America, I gotta say that. But America will be judged.

No, I’m not anguished and tormented.

I always play women I would date.

If you want to know who your friends are, get yourself a jail sentence.

Our focus needs to be less on what our legacy’s going to be or how we can control each other and more how we can give to each other.

Much that passes as idealism is disguised hatred or disguised love of power.

If music be the food of love, play on.
